Scout report
J. Hilton is a 25-year-old full-back at Grasshoppers, rated 53.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 19th of 203 on scout potential in the Super League. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (82.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.07 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hilton.
Judged on this season alone, Hilton graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 44 of the 44 full-backs in the Super League, on 3 clean sheets and 4.074 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 31). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, top 5% of the 44 full-backs in the Super League. At 25 Hilton is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Grasshoppers finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
4.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.07 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 53.3, Hilton carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League (top 5%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Grasshoppers finished 11th of 12) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.07 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.
