In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (60.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Żyro.

Judged on this season alone, Żyro graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 6 clean sheets and 2.908 defensive actions per 90.

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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 23rd of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 27 Żyro is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.9, Żyro carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 49, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Widzew Łódź finished 14th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
