Scout report
S. Magnússon is a 26-year-old centre-forward at Brann, rated 36.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 113th of 219 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.71 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Magnússon.
Judged on this season alone, Magnússon graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 30 of the 30 centre-forwards in the Eliteserien, on 5 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.711 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 16th of 30 of the 30 centre-forwards in the Eliteserien. At 26 Magnússon is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Magnússon missed 7 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 30 this season. The 9 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.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Brann finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
5 goals in 9 appearances (0.56 per game) for an upper-table side.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.71 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.6% 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 36.3, Magnússon carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eliteserien of 30 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.71 goal contributions 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.
