Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Central defender

A. Hack is a 32-year-old central defender at FC Zurich, rated 14.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 221st of 233 on scout potential in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hack.

Judged on this season alone, Hack graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League, on 1 clean sheet and 4.179 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 36th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League. At 32 Hack is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.3, Hack carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 37 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
