Scout report

Project playerCreative Attacking midfielder

V. Edvardsen is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at GO Ahead Eagles, rated 40.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 229th of 282 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (65.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.32 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Edvardsen.

Judged on this season alone, Edvardsen graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 4 goals and 7 assists in 26 appearances (0.495 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 25th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 30 Edvardsen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Edvardsen missed 4 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 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.

In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
