Clean sheets

4.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.46 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 39.6, Kowalczyk carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa (top 9%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
