Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 20). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 28% of the 84 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Hopkins is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hopkins missed 9 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Hopkins is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
1.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 41, Hopkins carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) 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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 22, Hopkins sits on 7.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Hopkins's projected Rating — 41 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.
