Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

S. Zawadzki is a 26-year-old central defender at Columbus Crew, rated 40.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 122nd of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (94.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.62 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zawadzki.

Judged on this season alone, Zawadzki graded 27 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 3.616 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 27). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 18% of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Zawadzki is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Zawadzki missed 5 games through injury (injury, knee) out of roughly 37 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
