Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.4, Hult carries the 37th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Allsvenskan of 42. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
