Scout report

Project playerFull-back

A. Kryger is a 28-year-old full-back at Bryne, rated 30.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 143rd of 219 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (62.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kryger.

Judged on this season alone, Kryger graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 2 clean sheets and 3.6 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 25th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 28 Kryger is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kryger missed 3 games through injury (ankle, injury) out of roughly 32 this season. The 21 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.

Clean sheets

3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.7, Kryger carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 38, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Bryne finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
