Judged on this season alone, Putivtsev graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 8 of the 8 centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 1 clean sheet and 2.725 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 6).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 5, 8th of 8 of the 8 centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 37 Putivtsev is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, 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 5.1, Putivtsev carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 8, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nieciecza finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
