A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (51.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hinshelwood.
Judged on this season alone, Hinshelwood graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 32 of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 27 appearances (0.36 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 26). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 90, top 16% of the 32 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 21 Hinshelwood is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 97.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hinshelwood missed 8 games through injury (ankle, injured doubtful) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Brighton finished 8th of 20 · a mid-table side
4 goals in 27 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.26 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.3/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.54 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 90.3, Hinshelwood carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 16%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
