We hold a single season for Hotto, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 1, 31st of 35 of the 35 full-backs in the Premier Soccer League. At 35 Hotto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 0.6, Hotto carries the 31st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier Soccer League of 35. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 35, Hotto sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hotto's projected Rating — 0.6 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.
