Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Koski.

Judged on this season alone, Koski graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the HNL, on 3 clean sheets and 3.686 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Koski, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 30% of the 31 centre-backs in the HNL. At 24 Koski is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Koski missed 4 games through injury (injury, knee) out of roughly 36 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.5, Koski carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the HNL (top 30%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
