Scout report
S. Nilsen is a 29-year-old full-back at Ham-Kam, rated 24.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 206th of 246 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.45 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 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 2 clean sheets and 2.447 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 39th of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 29 Nilsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Ham-Kam finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 24.4, Nilsen carries the 39th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 43 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
