An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sande.
Judged on this season alone, Sande graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 3 goals, 0 assists and 1.993 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 36th of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 28 Sande is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Brann finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.1, Sande carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 50 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
