Total Football Analysis’ Breakout XI for 2025 includes eight ‘alternates’ / ‘bench players’ who almost made the cut for a full scouting report in the magazine.
Those players will still be covered with a mini-data analysis.
Our attacking midfielder on the bench is Vålerenga Fotball Damer’s Olaug Tvedten.
The versatile 24-year-old Vålerenga midfielder continues to show a lot of promise in Norways Eliteserien.
Tvedten was the most essential player in Vålerenga’s league success of 2024.
The midfielder can play in different positions but has played most of her minutes as a left-sided wide attacker or winger.
Tvedten finished top of the charts for goal contributions for the second season running, with 13 goals and nine assists.
The below visualisation shows Tvedten’s progressive pass map from the 2024 campaign.
With 9.49 Progressive passes per 90 minutes, if you take players who played 1500 minutes, no one has ranks above Tvedten for that metric.
This goes on to show her impressive ability to drive attacks and create chances for her teammates.
