Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

V. Solheim is a 21-year-old full-back at Haugesund, rated 35.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Solheim.

On the season, Solheim graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 2.869 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 3). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 21 Solheim is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Solheim missed 7 games through injury (ankle, inactive, thigh) out of roughly 30 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 35.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
