Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.17 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 80.1, Hudson-Odoi carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 15%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — 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 light defensive volume (1.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
