A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (8.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Olsson.
On the season, Olsson graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.104 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 3. At 38 Olsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Olsson missed 8 games through injury (hamstring, inactive) 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Malmo FF finished 6th of 16 · a mid-table side
1.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 6 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.55 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 2.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
