2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.1% 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 43.1, Riisnæs carries the 8th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 23 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
