Output in context · MTK Budapest finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
4.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 35, Kovács carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the NB I (top 8%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (MTK Budapest finished 10th of 12) — 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 (4.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
