Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pedersen.

Judged on this season alone, Pedersen graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.766 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 36th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Pedersen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.8, Pedersen carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 42. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
