Clean sheets

4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.1% 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 42.4, Okeke carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga of 51, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FK Jablonec finished 5th of 6) — 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 (4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
