Clean sheets

1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.63 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.5, Brynhildsen carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 43 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
