Judged on this season alone, Kurzawa graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 15 of the 15 central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa, on 4 goals, 0 assists and 3.155 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 15th of 15 of the 15 central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa. At 33 Kurzawa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.1, Kurzawa carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ekstraklasa of 15, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nieciecza finished 18th 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 (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
