Clean sheets

1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.4, Bjarkason carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 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.
