Clean sheets

3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 63.1, Szymański carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 44 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
