Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ludwik.

Judged on this season alone, Ludwik graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 41 of the 41 centre-backs in the A-League, on 2 clean sheets and 3.409 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Ludwik, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

Clean sheets

3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.3% 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 11.9, Ludwik carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 41 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
