Clean sheets

3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 61.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26, Kapustka carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 38 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~6), then tapers with age. At 29, Kapustka sits on 3.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kapustka's projected Rating — 26 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
