12 clean sheets in 33 appearances (36% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.9, Horníček carries the 1st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga (top 5%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
