Output in context · Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
1.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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 7 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.29 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36.3, Rafferty carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan (top 16%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Degerfors IF finished 13th of 16) — 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 light defensive volume (1.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
