Clean sheets

3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 56.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 57.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.52 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.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~27), then tapers with age. At 25, Žambůrek sits on 26.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Žambůrek's projected Rating — 57.8 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.
