Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

B. Thoresen is a 20-year-old centre-forward at Fredrikstad, rated 39.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.77 goal contributions per 90 (0.77 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thoresen.

On the season, Thoresen graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.769 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 20 Thoresen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Thoresen missed 13 games through injury (leg, inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 9 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.

1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.77 goal contributions per 90 (0.77 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 7.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.9 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.77 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
