Clean sheets

1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.7, Guðmundsson carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 43 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
