Outlook

With a Rating of 38.6, Ottesen carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 41 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
