On long-term scout potential he's rated 26.2, ranking 197th of 231 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (66% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.33 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fossum.

Judged on this season alone, Fossum graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 24 of the 24 attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.433 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 31). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 18th of 24 of the 24 attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Fossum is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.33 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.2, Fossum carries the 18th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 24 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
