Squad depthCreative Attacking midfielder

M. Ugland is a 26-year-old attacking midfielder at Start, rated 28.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 58th of 161 on scout potential in the 1. Division. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.26 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ugland.

Judged on this season alone, Ugland graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 23 of the 23 attacking midfielders in the 1. Division, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 10 appearances (0.519 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 11th of 23 of the 23 attacking midfielders in the 1. Division. At 26 Ugland is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 10 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.7% 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 28.9, Ugland carries the 11th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 1. Division of 23 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
