12 clean sheets in 38 appearances (32% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.4, Hemming carries the 29th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 41. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 26, Hemming sits on 20.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hemming's projected Rating — 33.4 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.
