We hold a single season for Valenta, 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 39, 27th of 50 of the 50 defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga. At 26 Valenta is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Hradec Králové finished 4th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.2, Valenta carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga of 50 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 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.
