Output in context · Hannover 96 finished 4th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 52.8, Þórðarson carries the 19th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 2. Bundesliga of 37 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 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.
