Squad depthCentre-forward

E. Melkersen is a 23-year-old centre-forward at Stromsgodset, rated 35.4 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Melkersen.

On the season, Melkersen graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 1 assist in 8 appearances (0.175 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 6). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 23 Melkersen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Melkersen missed 9 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 30 this season. The 8 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.
