Clean sheets

3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 97% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.7, Hagen carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Aalesund finished 15th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.44 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.

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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 26, Hagen sits on 11.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hagen's projected Rating — 39.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
