3 Best U23 Players in Hungary NB I
Rajmund Tóth (‘04) (RB) – Győri ETO
Rajmund Tóth’s CompaAI Defensive report:
Rajmund Tóth ranks 1st out of 12 right-backs with 10.38 ball recoveries per match, ahead of Bendegúz Farkas (9.92). This indicates elite activity in regaining possession and sustained involvement without the ball. The volume suggests high defensive intensity and strong reading of second balls, which can be valuable in teams prioritizing territorial control and quick transitions after turnovers. He leads the position in ball recoveries in the opponent half (3.62 per match, 1st/12) and ball recoveries in the opponent box (0.46 per match, 1st/12). Compared to Ákos Markgráf (3.09 and 0.45 respectively), Tóth shows a slightly higher but consistently elite presence in advanced pressing situations. This profile aligns with full-backs used in aggressive pressing schemes, particularly in teams defending high and aiming to lock opponents on one side. Tóth also ranks 1st out of 12 in interceptions in the opponent half (1.23 per match), marginally ahead of Ákos Markgráf (1.18). This reinforces his anticipation quality and timing when stepping out of the defensive line. Tactically, this supports usage as a proactive right-back who can jump into midfield lines to disrupt buildup rather than holding a purely positional role. With 2.15 dribbles against won per match, Tóth ranks 1st out of 12, outperforming Patrik Kovács (1.72). This highlights strong 1v1 defending, body positioning, and tackling execution. It suggests reliability when isolated against wingers and suitability for systems where the right-back is frequently exposed due to high team width.
Rajmund Tóth’s standout seasonal strengths lie in ball recoveries (overall and in advanced zones), interceptions in the opponent half, dribbles against won, and successful defensive actions, where he consistently ranks 1st or 2nd among U23 right-backs. His profile reflects a high-intensity, proactive defensive full-back who thrives in pressing-oriented systems and aggressive territorial defense.
Kevin Horváth (‘05) (CMF) – Paksi FC
Kevin Horváth’s CompaAI Offensive report:
Kevin Horváth ranks 1st out of 11 in several key attacking involvement metrics. He records 0.52 playing in scoring attacks per match, ahead of Alex Tóth (0.50), and 2.52 touches in the box per match, clearly above the next best (1.93). This combination suggests he consistently arrives in advanced zones and is regularly involved in the final actions of attacks. Tactically, this profile fits well with a midfielder allowed to break lines and attack the box rather than staying in a purely positional role. Horváth ranks 1st out of 11 in assists (0.17 per match) and shot on target assists (0.65 per match), while also ranking 2nd in expected assists (0.14) and shot assists (1.43). Compared to the positional leader in xA (Alex Tóth, 0.26), Horváth combines slightly lower chance quality with higher direct end‑product. This may indicate a more direct creative style, often playing decisive passes rather than accumulating possession‑based creativity. With 0.17 xG per match, Kevin Horváth is 1st out of 11 in his positional group, nearly doubling the second‑best value (0.09). He also leads with 0.57 shots on target per match and 1.52 total shots per match (2nd overall). These numbers indicate that when he shoots, it often comes from relatively favorable positions. From a tactical perspective, he may be effective as a late runner or secondary attacker rather than a deep playmaker.
Kevin Horváth’s strongest seasonal rankings are in expected goals (1st), playing in scoring attacks (1st), assists (1st), shot on target assists (1st), touches in the box (1st), and opportunity creation (1st) among under‑23 midfielders in Hungary NB I. His profile highlights a midfielder who actively enters the box, contributes directly to chance creation, and maintains high involvement in decisive attacking phases.
Ákos Szendrei (‘03) (CF) – Paksi FC
Ákos Szendrei’s CompaAI Offensive report:
Szendrei ranks 1st out of 7 in Goals per match (0.27), tied with Zsombor Gruber, positioning him as the most productive scorer among U23 centre forwards. This output closely aligns with his xG of 0.29 (2nd/7), just below João Victor (0.31), indicating that his scoring is sustainable and chance-based rather than overperforming. Tactically, this suggests a forward who consistently arrives in high-value shooting zones and converts at a reliable rate. He leads the cohort 1st/7 in Touches in the box (3.45 per match), outperforming the next best Maxsuell Alegria (2.71). This underlines strong penalty-area positioning, timing of runs, and spatial awareness. Combined with his goal output, this makes him a credible reference point for structured attacking play, particularly against low blocks. Szendrei ranks 1st/7 in Shots on target percentage (50%), ahead of Gruber (44.44%). He also places 2nd/7 in Shots on target per match (0.82). This combination highlights a striker who may not shoot excessively but selects shots carefully, favoring accuracy over volume. From a tactical perspective, this supports using him as a finisher in well-constructed attacks rather than a high-volume shooter. He ranks 1st/7 in Shot on target assists (0.36 per match), tied with Maxsuell Alegria. While not a primary creator, this indicates an ability to set up teammates for high-quality shots, often through layoffs or short combinations in advanced areas.
Overall, he profiles as a high-efficiency, box-focused centre forward whose value is maximized through structured attacking frameworks and reliable service. His development ceiling may depend on improving his involvement in ball progression and creative phases, but his current output already places him among the most effective U23 CFs in the league from a pure offensive standpoint.
