Output in context · Lechia Gdansk finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.5, Zhelizko carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ekstraklasa (top 14%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Lechia Gdansk finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
