Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 31 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 15th of 15 of the 15 central midfielders in the Superliga. At 33 Poulsen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Poulsen is operating at his career peak — the 2022/23 level is the level.
Output in context · Aarhus finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 16.4, Poulsen carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superliga of 15, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Aarhus finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
