The short answer
Jens Hjertø-Dahl is one of the more intriguing £5.0m FPL midfielders.
Hull signed the 20-year-old from Tromsø after he scored seven goals in 14 Eliteserien matches in 2026.
He describes himself as a midfielder who likes to get forward and arrive late in the box.
Tromsø record
| Metric | Total |
|---|---|
| Senior appearances | 105 |
| Goals | 19 |
| Assists | 11 |
| 2026 league goals before transfer | 7 in 14 |
That is unusually strong scoring for a young central midfielder.
Why he can work in FPL
Late box runs
This is the biggest attraction.
A midfielder arriving after the striker can find:
- Cut-backs
- Rebounds
- Headers
- Second balls
- Edge-of-box shots
Defensive actions
At 6ft 4in, Hjertø-Dahl also describes himself as strong in aerial and ground duels.
That could add a defensive-contribution route.
Main risks
| Risk | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| League adaptation | Norway to the Premier League is a major jump |
| Hull competition | Several midfield signings are fighting for roles |
| Position | He can be used deeper |
| GW1 | Hull host Manchester United |
| £5.0m alternatives | Some have more PL experience |
OneFPL verdict
High upside for the price, but not yet a safe starter.
If he starts Hull's final strong lineup in an advanced central role, he deserves consideration as a fifth midfielder.
