Output in context · Sparta Praha finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 0.6, Zelený carries the 38th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Czech Liga of 51. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
