Clean sheets

2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 38 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 9 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 98.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 82, Kamiński carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 9%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Köln 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 (2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
