Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kapuadi.

Judged on this season alone, Kapuadi graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 30 of the 30 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa, on 4 clean sheets and 1.3 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 18th of 30 of the 30 full-backs in the Ekstraklasa. At 28 Kapuadi is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.3 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.1, Kapuadi carries the 18th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 30 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
