We hold a single season for Horák, 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 2, top 25% of the 54 defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga. At 26 Horák is in his prime years, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 1.6, Horák carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga (top 25%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hradec Králové finished 4th of 6) — 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 light defensive volume (1.79 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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 26, Horák sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Horák's projected Rating — 1.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
