Caps & goals this season.
H. Ekdal is a 27-year-old central defender at Burnley, rated 59 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 266th of 373 in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (45% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ekdal.
Judged on this season alone, Ekdal graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.865 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 44th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 27 Ekdal is in his prime years, and a market index of 118 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 59, Ekdal carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Burnley finished 19th of 20) — 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 (2.87 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~118), then tapers with age. At 27, Ekdal sits on 118, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ekdal's projected Rating — 59 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.
