Minutes

2 clean sheets in 2 appearances (100% 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

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 11.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 72.8 overall — elite — among the best in the position. A limited game time 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 (~44), then tapers with age. At 18, Zieliński sits on 32.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Zieliński's projected Rating — 72.8 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.
