Squad depthCentral midfielder

S. Kroon is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Orebro SK, rated 16 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 152nd of 189 on scout potential in the Superettan. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (48.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kroon.

Judged on this season alone, Kroon graded 14 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 65 central midfielders in the Superettan, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.677 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 52nd of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the Superettan. At 29 Kroon is in his prime years, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.68 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16, Kroon carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superettan of 65, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Orebro SK finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
