2 clean sheets in 11 appearances (18% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.9, Vítek carries the 2nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 41 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~30), then tapers with age. At 23, Vítek sits on 30.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Vítek's projected Rating — 65.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
