An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.83 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Høyland.
Judged on this season alone, Høyland graded 14 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 31 central midfielders in the 1. Division, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.833 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 26th of 31 of the 31 central midfielders in the 1. Division. At 30 Høyland is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.5, Høyland carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 1. Division of 31 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
