On long-term scout potential he's rated 26.3, ranking 198th of 231 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (77.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hoff.

Judged on this season alone, Hoff graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 12 of the 12 defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.557 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 32). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 10th of 12 of the 12 defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien. At 30 Hoff is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.3, Hoff carries the 10th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eliteserien of 12 — 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).
