Clean sheets

1.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.51 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.8 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.9, Kucharski carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the A-League (top 28%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Perth Glory finished 10th of 12) — 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 light defensive volume (1.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
