Scout report
M. Helik is a 30-year-old central defender at Oxford United, rated 40.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 385th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (90.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Helik.
Judged on this season alone, Helik graded 36 — a solid campaign that ranks top 31% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets and 4.056 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 62nd of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 30 Helik is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Oxford United finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 43 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.9, Helik carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Oxford United finished 22nd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
