Goals / app

5 goals in 13 appearances (0.38 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.51 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.7 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28, Isaksen carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 1. Division of 23 — 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 (0.51 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
