7 goals in 30 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 12 goal contributions (0.4 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.5, Zhelizko carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 5, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Lechia Gdansk finished 16th 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 productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
