There is still a cup final, but this year's elite season is over. Sunday, Norwegian football is celebrated at the football festival.

We asked Norwegian football experts Christian Gauseth at Eurosport, Jesper Mathisen at TV 2, commentator VG Knut Espen Svegaarden and Carl-Erik Torp at NRK.

On the basis of their advice, we chose the last one (4-4-2): André Hansen – Espen Ruud, Vito Wormgoor, Tore Reginiussen, Birger Meling – Eirik Hestad, Fredrik Haugen, David Akintola – Franck Boli, Erling Braut Haaland .

Goalkeeper: André Hansen

Club: Rosenborg

Age: 28

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 29

No one we spoke to doubted who would get the space between the stems. The season of the season was difficult for Rosenborg. The club was under chaos before and after Kåre Ingebrigtsen's kick. The game on the field sometimes varied a lot, but André Hansen was stable, so to speak, every time. The goalkeeper had an impressive season, both in Eliteseria and in European tournaments. He will have a lot of credit because gold has ended up in Trondheim again. Rosenborg has only scored 24 goals this season.

"That's the main reason why Rosenborg won gold," said Jesper Mathisen, TV 2 expert.

Right back: Espen Ruud

Club: Odd

Age: 34 years old

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 29

The 34-year-old has performed very well in both directions on the field in 2018. Odd scored a positive difference despite only 39 goals scored. With a lower drawback, the table situation could quickly become very uncomfortable. Ruud was also poisonous on the ground. He scored eight times on the right side, in addition to slamming three passive passes.

Intermediate: Vito Wormgoor

Club: fire

Age: 30 years

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 29

The fire captain had to endure the last game of the season. He had started all 29 previous ones. The captain was almost indispensable, because one season, gold seemed to end well in Bergen. Like the rest of the team, he probably suffered a little while the skirt of midfielder Sivert Heltne Nilsen went to Denmark this summer, but the team still experienced a very good defensive season. Wormgoor's presence on the grass mats was an essential prerequisite.

Midstop: Tore Reginiussen

Club: Rosenborg

Age: 32 years old

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 29

Will also have his share of credit for the solid match of Rosenborg on the track. The usual striker seems to love the tough duels, but it's also a player who can play upside down – that's what Lerkendal spectators like to see. Is also a handful for opponents when Rosenborg has offensive death balls.

Back left: Birger Meling

Club: Rosenborg

Age: 23 years old

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 28

Took further action in his second season as a Rosenborg player. Eight targeting passes are impressive. Meling looks like a classy modern class, which has also provided a solid place to the Norwegian Lars Lagerbäck team. Experts all believe that the left back is self-written on this year's team in the Elites series.

Triangle rectangle: Eirik Hestad

Club: Molde

Age: 23 years old

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 30

Mathisen, Svegaarden, Torp and Gauseth believe that Hestad deserves a spot for this year's team. The 23-year-old was on the field in all games of the series with Molde. Those who saw it play understand why. Eight goals and seven goalkeeper passes are a good offensive contribution, but Hestad is also working on the track. Among the nominees who could have been elected player of this year at Fotballfeesten.

"I think maybe he was the best player of this year," Torp said.

Midfielder: Fredrik Haugen

Club: fire

Age: 26

Number of matches in Eliteserien 2018: 27

Fredrik Haugen is another player who played an important role in Brann's gold hunt. Has a very good footing, which can also produce a kremmer house like what we saw against Strømsgodset in early November. To a greater extent, a former player has been balanced in midfield Brann this season, but has expressed the desire to play further on the pitch. Then there may be more jewels.

Midfielder: Gjermund Åsen

Club: Tromsø

Age: 27 years old

Number of matches in Eliteserien 2018: 21

We chose to place the attacking midfielder in central midfield, where he played repeatedly. The Tromsø player has managed most of the targeting passes (10) during the season. Tromsø finally saved the place with a fine margin, but without Åsen, she could quickly become more disgusting. His number could be even more impressive without a stretching injury early in the season.

Left side: David Akintola

Club: Haugesund

Age: 22

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 30

Get a Danish Midtjylland loan before the start of the season. Many think that it is an agreement that Haugesund should try to make permanent, as Akintola shone during Haugesund's attack. Nine goals and six passive passes have a lot to say. Haugesund was fourth in fourth place. The Nigerian can handle all the offensive roles – we chose to place him on the left.

Tip: Franck Boli

Club: Stabæk

Age: 24 years old

Number of Eliteserien matches 2018: 29

It will always be difficult to get out of the top scorer in the league when signing this year's team. Boli's 17 goals for Stabæk were decisive for the qualification of the club. Signed a new contract with the club at the beginning of November, a very good news for all those who are happy with Stabæk. The Ivorian was the great nightmare defenders in 2018.

Tip: Erling Braut Haaland

Club: Molde

Age: 18 years old

Number of Eliteserien 2018 matches: 20

This year's major breakthrough has been marked – 12 goals over 18 years have a crazy smell. Molde's talented breakthrough impressed with strength, willingness to work and raw material. His four goals against Brann on July 1 are again the perfect example of Haaland's huge high level. This talent was naturally linked to several major European clubs. This summer, Haaland has finally chosen the Austrian club RB Salzburg as the next step. He joins the team in the new year.

"Haaland is one of the greatest talents of European football," said RB Salzburg's sports director, Christoph Freund, on the club's website after concluding the deal with Haaland.
