Scout report
D. Gazdag is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Columbus Crew, rated 22.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 348th of 436 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gazdag.
Judged on this season alone, Gazdag graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 45 of the 45 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 17 appearances (0.35 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 38th of 45 of the 45 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Gazdag is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Columbus Crew finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
3 goals in 17 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.1, Gazdag carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer of 45 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
