Squad depthCentral midfielder

V. Hoff is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Lillestrom, rated 17.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 129th of 161 on scout potential in the 1. Division. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (41.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hoff.

Judged on this season alone, Hoff graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 31 of the 31 central midfielders in the 1. Division, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.739 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 25th of 31 of the 31 central midfielders in the 1. Division. At 30 Hoff is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.6, Hoff carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 1. Division of 31 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
