3 clean sheets in 12 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.7, Østbø carries the 18th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Eliteserien of 18 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 35, Østbø sits on 0.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Østbø's projected Rating — 10.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
