Output in context · Viking finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52% 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 39.9, Bærtelsen carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien (top 37%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 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.
