Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hedel.
Judged on this season alone, Hedel graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.644 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 11). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 38th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 21 Hedel is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 36.5 reflects that trajectory.
Hedel is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 49.4, Hedel carries the 38th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 61 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~41), then tapers with age. At 21, Hedel sits on 36.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Hedel's projected Rating — 49.4 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.
