Scout report
L. Østigård is a 26-year-old central defender at Genoa, rated 73.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 115th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (85.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.19 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Østigård.
Judged on this season alone, Østigård graded 37 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 3.191 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 37). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 73, top 33% of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 26 Østigård is in his prime years, and a market index of 45.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Østigård missed 4 games through injury (knock, muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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.
A career still climbing — Østigård is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Genoa finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 85.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 73.1, Østigård carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A (top 33%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Genoa finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
