Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 42nd of 50 of the 50 central 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 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
