Output in context · Bryne finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.62 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 35.1, Saunes carries the 21st-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 (3.62 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.
