An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present (83.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hestnes.
On the season, Hestnes graded 45 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals, 3 assists and 3.105 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 31). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27. At 30 Hestnes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2025/26 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · KFUM Oslo finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 83.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 27.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
