An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (82.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.04 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tronstad.
Judged on this season alone, Tronstad graded 37 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 4.036 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 36 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 49th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 30 Tronstad is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Tronstad missed 14 games through injury (knee, inactive, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 29 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 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.1, Tronstad carries the 49th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
