Clean sheets

1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 10 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 84% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.49 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.86 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 80 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~48), then tapers with age. At 22, Hlynsson sits on 45.1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Hlynsson's projected Rating — 80 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.
