Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.9% 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 45.7, Jelínek carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga of 51 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
