Scout report
D. Burgzorg is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Preston, rated 45.1 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burgzorg.
On the season, Burgzorg graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 2 assists and 0.938 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45. At 27 Burgzorg is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Preston finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.31 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 45.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
