Clean sheets

2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Szalai carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the NB I (top 15%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
