Scoring charts

Tomáš Chorý tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 5 goals in 2 appearances for Slavia Prague.

Market

Zlatan Šehović agrees terms with Iquique

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Dukla Prague people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Slovan Liberec

Aleko Basiladze was marked 7.19 and had a hand in 0 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Market

Saidou Alioum turns Esteghlal Khuzestan down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Viktoria Plzen turn down Konyaspor for José Arnáiz

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Jaroslav Navrátil hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Slovacko can pretend not to have heard.

Scoring charts

The division’s top provider is Mojmír Chytil — 7.60

3 assists across the month from a Slavia Prague player marked 7.60. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a Slavia Prague man

Tomáš Chorý averaged 9.18 over 2 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Scoring charts

Lucas Ocampos is right behind him

2 goals in 2 appearances for Slavia Prague, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Still scoring: Jan Chramosta

3 in 2 for Jablonec. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Scoring charts

Michal Kohút up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Bohemians 1905 — 2 goals from 2 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Matyáš Vojta is right behind him

3 goals in 2 appearances for Slovan Liberec, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Market

Terms done: Florian Wiegele is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Sigma Olomouc waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Viktoria Plzen is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market

Not going: José Arnáiz stays at Viktoria Plzen

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Adana Demirspor had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market

Michal Beran hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sigma Olomouc can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Filip Vaško asks to leave Sigma Olomouc

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Jan Paluska is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Viktoria Plzen is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Tomáš Chorý wants more than Slavia Prague are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Matěj Hadaš asks to leave Sigma Olomouc

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Only the photograph left for Tomáš Pekhart

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Tomáš Pekhart will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dukla Prague the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Lucas Ocampos has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Slavia Prague can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Václav Sejk puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sigma Olomouc, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Slovacko say no — this time

The offer from Haugesund for Nathaniel Nwosu was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Only the photograph left for Danijel Šturm

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Danijel Šturm will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Slavia Prague the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Erik Prekop makes the list

1 appearances, 2 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Tomáš Chorý keeps making them — 2 this month

9.13 for a Slavia Prague player whose contribution is measured entirely in other people's celebrations. The providers' chart is the one nobody frames and everybody in a dressing room reads.

Matěj Polidar: 2 assists this month — 8.15

Next on a chart nobody frames. 8.15 for a Jablonec player whose month is measured in other people's goals.

Matěj Vydra tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 9 goals in 5 appearances for Viktoria Plzen.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Lukáš Provod

Marked 8.38 across it, 10 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Slavia Prague have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

Matěj Vydra is the division's best-marked player — 8.85

The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.85 across 5 matches for Viktoria Plzen.

Lukáš Provod keeps the pressure on

Nobody made more than Matyáš Vojta this month

5 assists, 7.67, and a Slovan Liberec player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Market

Union Espanola come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Slavia Prague did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

John Mercado wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

4 goals in 4 appearances for Jablonec leave him among the month's leading marksmen.
