Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

E. Andersson is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Orebro SK, rated 14.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 189 on scout potential in the Superettan. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Andersson.

Judged on this season alone, Andersson graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Superettan, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 1.409 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 56th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Superettan. At 29 Andersson is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 27 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.6, Andersson carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superettan of 65 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
