Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

W. Szczęsny is a 36-year-old goalkeeper at Barcelona, rated 16.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 384th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Szczęsny.

Judged on this season alone, Szczęsny graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the La Liga, on 3 clean sheets across 8 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 26th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the La Liga. At 36 Szczęsny is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.

3 clean sheets in 8 appearances (38% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 21.6% 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 16.5, Szczęsny carries the 26th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the La Liga of 26 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
