Clean sheets

3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 17) 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.6, Hecke carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
