Clean sheets

2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 5 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 75.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 74.9 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.51 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.

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 24, Hackney sits on 35.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hackney's projected Rating — 74.9 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.
