Clean sheets

0.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Outlook

Rated 41 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 28 (~11), then tapers with age. At 28, Płacheta sits on 11.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Płacheta's projected Rating — 41 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.
