Clean sheets

1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.14 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.3, Hallberg carries the 54th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Superettan of 65. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
