    My stab at it (not a literal translation):

    What his/her contribution/benefit will be, who knows? But he/she already shows individual progress on Series/Set A.

    A little context would be helpful.

    Jakým přínosem kdo bude, ale ukáže až samotný průběh Serie A.

    My attempt (in clumsy English):

    But only the course itself of Series A will show who will be what contribution. (it is about soccer)

    First you must reorder the given sentence:

    Ale až samotný průběh Serie A ukáže, kdo bude jakým přínosem.

    subject
    verb (predicate)
    subordinate clause

    průběh is in nominative (and without any preposition), so it is the subject of the main clause
    ukáže is perfective -> will show (future tense)

    Moc dekuji Sova
    full text is ... this is the interview of football player.

    Question : Vraťme se na úvod trochu zpět. Co říkáte na letní změny v kádru a jaká je současná síla mužstva?
    Answer : V každém případě jsme mnohem silnější než loni. Přišli kvalitní hráči, takže letní změny hodnotím pozitivně. Jakým přínosem kdo bude, ale ukáže až samotný průběh Serie A.

    I think I understood what he wanted to say.
    Znovu dekuji !

    Thanks Troll. I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to soccer. I had no idea what Series A meant.

    Simply:

    Anyway after the summer changes we are much stronger team than last year. But only the Series A itself will show who will be a contributive player.
