Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 63). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 44th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga. At 36 Darida is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Darida is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Hradec Králové finished 4th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 10 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.4, Darida carries the 44th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga of 51, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hradec Králové finished 4th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
