Midfield Control

Passing & Build-Up

Squad Depth

Selfoss's starters average 11 league appearances each, versus 12 for Thor Akureyri. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
