N. Hämäläinen is a 29-year-old full-back at Haugesund, rated 22.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 181st of 216 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hämäläinen.
Judged on this season alone, Hämäläinen graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien, on 1 clean sheet and 2.591 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 33rd of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 29 Hämäläinen is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22.2, Hämäläinen carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien of 38 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 29, Hämäläinen sits on 6.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hämäläinen's projected Rating — 22.2 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.
