Frederik Heiselberg – Midtjylland
Frederik Heiselberg, der i torsdags fik officiel debut for @fcmidtjylland i EL, var med for FC Midtjylland U15 ved #CrownePlazaEliteCup i 2017. Endnu en positiv historie for tidligere deltager ved stævnet.

I’ll put my hand up – I looked at Heiselberg first because of his name. He sounded like the guy out of Breaking Bad, and I could imagine the SW headlines, so I thought I’d dig a bit deeper. What do you know – there’s a player here worth looking at.
He’s 21 (tick), has played U17 and U19 for Denmark (tick), has appeared for Midtjylland (tick) and has had recent exposure out on loan (tick). He’s a 6ft 3in centre forward, although his goals return (zero) hasn’t been great. However, the club don’t just look at goals on Wikipedia when they want to sign a player, so maybe there’s more to his game.
He contested 10 aerial duels a game, winning 41.6%, which is a decent stat. I don’t think we’ll sign a player based purely on that, and things like running stats are not available to us, but could there be something else underlying in the numbers?
Is he just a Walter White, or something a little darker?
