Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 7 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 57. At 22 Hjelde is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 25.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hjelde missed 11 games through injury (achilles tendon, achilles tendon problems) out of roughly 46 this season. The 8 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sheffield Utd finished 13th of 24 · a mid-table side
3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 57.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 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.
