Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

M. Hoedemakers is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Viborg, rated 25.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hoedemakers.

On the season, Hoedemakers graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 5.91 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 28 Hoedemakers is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Hoedemakers missed 5 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 32 this season. The 19 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.

Clean sheets

5.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 5.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 25.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
