Judged on this season alone, Gundersen graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 34 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 5 clean sheets and 3.2 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 27th of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 30 Gundersen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gundersen missed 6 games through injury and 1 suspension (hamstring, injury) out of roughly 30 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bodo/Glimt finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook
With a Rating of 23.5, Gundersen carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 34. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
