Scout report
M. Samuelsen is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Haugesund, rated 18.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Samuelsen.
On the season, Samuelsen graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.776 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19. At 29 Samuelsen is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Samuelsen missed 9 games through injury (hip) out of roughly 30 this season. The 6 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.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Haugesund finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 18.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
