We hold a single season for Budko, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 3rd of 4 of the 4 defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie. At 20 Budko is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Jong AZ finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
5.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 48.3, Budko carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eerste Divisie of 4, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Jong AZ finished 17th of 20) — 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 high defensive volume (5.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
