6 clean sheets in 22 appearances (27% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% 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 35.2, Strączek carries the 11th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Ekstraklasa of 25. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
