Clean sheets

1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 71.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.5/100).

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 42.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 31, Lobotka sits on 11.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lobotka's projected Rating — 42.2 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.
