Outlook

With a Rating of 33.2, Sanca carries the 18th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 39, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Piast Gliwice finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 26, Sanca sits on 5.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sanca's projected Rating — 33.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
