Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 31 → 43). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Output in context · Widzew Łódź finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 7 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 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 30.3, Álvarez carries the 33rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 67, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Widzew Łódź finished 14th 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 (2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
