Judged on this season alone, Røjkjær graded 45 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 18 central midfielders in the Superliga, on 2 goals, 4 assists and 2.856 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 30 → 45). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 12th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the Superliga. At 28 Røjkjær is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Røjkjær missed 10 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 32 this season. The 22 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.

Clean sheets

2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.6, Røjkjær carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 18. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
