1 goal in 15 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.4 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.59 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.53 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.8, Mathisen carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 22 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
