4 goals in 14 appearances (0.29 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.47 goal contributions per 90 (0.47 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.54 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.6, Nordli carries the 11th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eliteserien of 25 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.47 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.
