Project playerCentral midfielder

N. Mohammed is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Halmstad, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 2 assists in 24 appearances, a Season grade of 26, top 44% of Allsvenskan central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 23.7, ranking 169th of 248 in the Allsvenskan. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (62% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mohammed.

Judged on this season alone, Mohammed graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan, on 3 goals, 2 assists and 1.446 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 26). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 41st of 59 of the 59 central midfielders in the Allsvenskan. At 29 Mohammed is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.45 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.7, Mohammed carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Allsvenskan of 59, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Halmstad finished 11th of 16) — 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 light defensive volume (1.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
