Clean sheets

3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.5, Mesík carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
