Judged on this season alone, Kjelsen graded 16 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 10% of the 43 centre-backs in the 1. Division, on 5 clean sheets and 1.547 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 16). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 3% of the 43 centre-backs in the 1. Division. At 20 Kjelsen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Kjelsen is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Aalesund finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.5, Kjelsen carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 43 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
