Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hillen.
Judged on this season alone, Hillen graded 30 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 51 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 4 clean sheets and 4.13 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 40% of the 51 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 23 Hillen is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 82.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 64.2, Hillen carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NAC Breda finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, 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 (~82), then tapers with age. At 23, Hillen sits on 82.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hillen's projected Rating — 64.2 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.
