Lech Poznań is reviewing its win over Jagiellonia and summer transfer business ahead of Sunday's match against Raków. The club sits second in the Ekstraklasa table with 13 points from five games.
What were the player ratings after the Jagiellonia match?
The outlet Sport.pl published player ratings for Lech Poznań following their 2:1 victory over Jagiellonia Białystok. On a scale of 1 to 6, the highest mark of 5 went to Michał Gurgul, who assisted the winning goal and effectively shut down the opposition's wingers. Spanish midfielder Pablo Rodriguez, who scored the opening goal, also received a 4.
Several players received low scores. Gustav Berggren was given a 2, with Sport.pl reporting the Swede completely failed to fill in for the injured Antoni Kozubal. Similarly poor performances came from Patrik Walemark and Luis Palma, who both got a 2 for anonymous displays and wasted chances. Lech has now scored 10 league goals while conceding only 4.
What was the summer transfer window balance?
According to sportowefakty.wp.pl, Lech Poznań closed the summer transfer window with an impressive spending balance. The club spent nearly €8.5 million on new signings, with the most expensive purchase being the buyout of Luis Palma from Celtic for over €4 million. Manager Niels Frederiksen stated he is satisfied with the squad.
"I am quite satisfied with the squad. We have enough players both for numbers and competition for all positions," Frederiksen told sportowefakty.wp.pl. The club managed to retain key players like Wojciech Mońka and Michał Gurgul despite foreign interest. From player sales, Lech earned around €4.25 million.

What lineup could Lech field against Raków?
The outlet Sport Betfan predicts Lech Poznań will field a similar lineup in Sunday's 7th round match against Raków Częstochowa. Mateusz Lis is expected in goal, with a defence of Joel Pereira, Wojciech Mońka, new signing Terry Yegbe, and Michał Gurgul. In midfield, Gustav Berggren is set to start again in place of the injured Kozubal.
In attack, Niels Frederiksen could once again deploy the duo of Allahyar Sayyadmanesh and Yannick Agnero. Lech are clear favourites for the match, especially as Raków have zero points after five rounds. The game will be played on September 6th at Enea Stadion, with Damian Kos as the referee.
