Scout report
E. Hamilton is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Dundee, rated 39.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 113th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (86.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hamilton.
Judged on this season alone, Hamilton graded 28 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.38 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 22nd of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership. At 27 Hamilton is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Dundee finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 86.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.1, Hamilton carries the 22nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dundee finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
