Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Judged on this season alone, Larsen graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 10 of the 10 goalkeepers in the Superliga, on 3 clean sheets across 31 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

Watch points

Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17, Larsen carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Superliga of 10. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 35, Larsen sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Larsen's projected Rating — 17 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
