Judged on this season alone, Souček graded 45 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 5 goals, 0 assists and 3.041 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 59 → 45). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 46th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 31 Souček is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 39.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · West Ham finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
Watch points
- 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 43.4, Souček carries the 46th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
