Clean sheets

2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.5, Behounek carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eerste Divisie of 60. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
