  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.1, Bengtsson carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superettan of 65 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
