Output in context · Tromso finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.4 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 38, 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 14.9, Jenssen carries the 49th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 50. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
