Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.9, Hoff carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 13 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 30, Hoff sits on 3.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hoff's projected Rating — 23.9 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.
