Scout report

Top-tier performerCentral midfielder

A. Stach is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Leeds, rated 76.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 159th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (85.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.56 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stach.

Judged on this season alone, Stach graded 64 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 5 goals, 3 assists and 3.558 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 46 → 64). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 77, 17th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 27 Stach is in his prime years, and a market index of 127.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Stach missed 7 games through injury (ankle, hip, concussion) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) 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 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.2/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 76.6, Stach carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 35, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leeds finished 14th of 20) — 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 (3.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
