Clean sheets

4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.7, Salo carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Superettan of 32. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
