Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 22, Kowalczyk sits on 7.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Kowalczyk's projected Rating — 39.9 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.
