On the season, Hedges graded 31 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.94 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 31 Hedges is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 18.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hedges missed 14 games through injury (injury, ankle, knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 24 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.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 31.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~40), then tapers with age. At 31, Hedges sits on 18.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hedges's projected Rating — 31.6 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.
