Outlook

With a Rating of 20.5, Jenssen carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superliga of 20 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 30, Jenssen sits on 1.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Jenssen's projected Rating — 20.5 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.
