9 goals in 38 appearances (0.24 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 98.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 82, Kamiński carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Bundesliga (top 9%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Köln finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~49), then tapers with age. At 24, Kamiński sits on 49, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kamiński's projected Rating — 82 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
