Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hjulmand.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 18th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga. At 27 Hjulmand is in his prime years, and a market index of 61.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 57.9, Hjulmand carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

At 27, Hjulmand sits on 61.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hjulmand's projected Rating — 57.9 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.
