S. Strand is a 33-year-old central defender at IF Brommapojkarna, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 0 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 22, top 52% of Allsvenskan centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.4, ranking 207th of 235 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (82.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Strand.

Judged on this season alone, Strand graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 2 clean sheets and 4.084 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 22). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 44th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 33 Strand is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.4, Strand carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 50, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (IF Brommapojkarna finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
