Minutes

2 clean sheets in 7 appearances (29% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 83.42200000000001, Zieliński carries the 1st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Bundesliga of 7 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
