Scout report
M. Helik is a 30-year-old full-back 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).
