On long-term scout potential he's rated 19.7, ranking 381st of 388 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (73.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vardy.
Judged on this season alone, Vardy graded 44 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 7 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances (0.384 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 44). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 48th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 39 Vardy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Vardy missed 6 games through injury (muscle, thigh) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cremonese finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
7 goals in 29 appearances (0.24 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 2 assists for 9 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.3 goals, 0.09 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.7, Vardy carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 49, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Cremonese finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
