Joe Hodge is a central midfielder whose game appears to lack the standout qualities typically expected at this level. With a Sofascore rating placing him in the bottom 5% of his positional peers, he struggles significantly in aerial duels, which is crucial for a player in his role. Additionally, his injury history, having missed 19 games over the last three seasons, raises concerns about his reliability on the pitch.
Availability: 19 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
