Judged on this season alone, Bye graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 26 of the 26 centre-forwards in the 1. Division, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances (0.567 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 26th of 26 of the 26 centre-forwards in the 1. Division. At 36 Bye is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 14 appearances (0.21 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.57 goal contributions per 90 (0.43 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 7.2, Bye carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 1. Division of 26 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.57 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
