Goal Rush Impact
Czechia's Goal Rush squad includes Soucek, where the side are listed in Tier 5 at £4m. He has 89 caps and a hefty 17 goals for Czechia from defensive midfield, a former Czechia captain and a fixture in West Ham United's midfield since 2020 who recently handed the armband to Ladislav Krejci. With Czechia at Tier 5 on the card, that £4m price is a group reading rather than a single defensive midfielder one this summer.
