Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

K. Bielik is a 28-year-old full-back at West Brom, rated 40.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 388th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.93 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bielik.

Judged on this season alone, Bielik graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 4.932 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 60th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 28 Bielik is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bielik missed 11 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.3, Bielik carries the 60th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st of 24) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.93 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
