An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (48.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hodge.
Judged on this season alone, Hodge graded 22 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.232 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 22). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 21st of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 23 Hodge is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Hodge is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Tondela finished 17th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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.

Outlook
With a Rating of 54.5, Hodge carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Tondela finished 17th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
