Elías Rafn Ólafsson is Midtjylland's Platinum Engine. Since putting down roots with the Danish club in 2020, the 26-year-old Icelandic international has been steadily building his body of work, though he remains on the hunt for his very first piece of career silverware.

His season metrics tell a fascinating story of a highly involved goalkeeper. In 12 appearances encompassing 930 minutes of action, he operates as a relentless presence at the back. He has rightfully unlocked the SHOT STOPPER badge, boasting an impressive 82% save rate alongside six clean sheets. Beyond his traditional duties between the sticks, his Dribbling is off the charts, allowing him to evade the high press with supreme composure and initiate attacks. Safely on an upward trajectory, his unique blend of high-energy distribution and elite shot-stopping makes him a singular profile in the division.

With his market value sitting at €2M and trending upwards, Ólafsson's stock is rising. As he continues to command his penalty area and confidently build from the back, that valuation reflects his growing influence on the pitch.
