A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 8.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nilsson.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 9 → 0). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 32 Nilsson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Halmstad finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (8.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
