Squad depthCentre-forward

D. Vanzeir is a 28-year-old centre-forward at Cercle Brugge, rated 34.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 63rd of 75 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vanzeir.

Judged on this season alone, Vanzeir graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 8 of the 8 centre-forwards in the Jupiler Pro League, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 15 appearances (0.448 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 33). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 7th of 8 of the 8 centre-forwards in the Jupiler Pro League. At 28 Vanzeir is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 15 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.8% 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 34.7, Vanzeir carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Jupiler Pro League of 8 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
