Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Solbakken.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 15th of 23 of the 23 centre-forwards in the Superliga. At 27 Solbakken is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Solbakken missed 10 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 32 this season. The 17 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.
