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

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.4, Kownacki carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Bundesliga of 47, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions 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 (~23), then tapers with age. At 29, Kownacki sits on 12.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kownacki's projected Rating — 37.4 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.
