S. Foss is a 27-year-old central defender at Lillestrom, rated 31.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 163rd of 231 on scout potential in the Eliteserien. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (43.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.85 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Foss.

Judged on this season alone, Foss graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 45 of the 45 centre-backs in the Eliteserien, on 3 clean sheets and 1.849 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 17). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 29th of 45 of the 45 centre-backs in the Eliteserien. At 27 Foss is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.85 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.7, Foss carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eliteserien of 45 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
