Judged on this season alone, Olkowski graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 5 clean sheets and 3.517 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 60th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 36 Olkowski is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gornik Zabrze finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 10.8, Olkowski carries the 60th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 62. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
