Clean sheets

2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 44, Elkær carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 41 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
