Hughes is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 73, Hughes carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 3%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~93), then tapers with age. At 22, Hughes sits on 88.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Hughes's projected Rating — 73 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
