S. Nilsen is a 29-year-old full-back at Ham-Kam, rated 26.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 162nd of 216 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (56.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nilsen.
Judged on this season alone, Nilsen graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 2.376 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 30th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 29 Nilsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.4, Nilsen carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 38, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Ham-Kam 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 moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~13), then tapers with age. At 29, Nilsen sits on 7.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nilsen's projected Rating — 26.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
