Clean sheets

6.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 6.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.4, Hammar carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League (top 22%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (KV Mechelen finished 14th of 18) — 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 high defensive volume (6.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
