Output in context · Piast Gliwice finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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 6 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.4, Jirka carries the 18th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 29, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Piast Gliwice finished 15th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
