Output in context · Sparta Praha finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.3% 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 1.4, Irving carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Czech Liga of 48 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
