Minutes

2 clean sheets in 6 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 35.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 65.19 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~25), then tapers with age. At 18, Zieliński sits on 18.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Zieliński's projected Rating — 65.19 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
