An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.17 assists).

With a Rating of 37.4, Kownacki carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga of 39. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
