Project playerDefensive midfielder

B. Hussein is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Degerfors IF, rated 29.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 135th of 208 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (66.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hussein.

Judged on this season alone, Hussein graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.592 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 15th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 26 Hussein is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.9, Hussein carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 20 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
