On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 36th of 50 of the 50 central midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Hestnes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

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 89.7% 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
With a Rating of 28.1, Hestnes carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eliteserien of 50, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (KFUM Oslo finished 12th of 16) — 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 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).
