Clean sheets

1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.36 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34, Birmančević carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Czech Liga of 48. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 28, Birmančević sits on 5.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Birmančević's projected Rating — 34 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.
