Experienced headDefensive midfielder

E. Sobol is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at FK Jablonec, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 12 appearances, a Season grade of 8, top 85% of Czech Liga defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 0.6, ranking 284th of 327 in the Czech Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (28.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sobol.

Judged on this season alone, Sobol graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 54 of the 54 defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.936 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 1, 49th of 54 of the 54 defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga. At 31 Sobol is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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

With a Rating of 0.6, Sobol carries the 49th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga of 54 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
