Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

B. Hussein is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Degerfors IF, rated 28.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 150th of 235 on scout potential in the Allsvenskan. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (56.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.07 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 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 19 of the 19 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.071 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 15). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 15th of 19 of the 19 defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 26 Hussein is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.6, Hussein carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 19, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Degerfors IF finished 14th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.07 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.
