Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

L. Bostyn is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Zulte Waregem, rated 17.7 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bostyn.

On the season, Bostyn graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets across 3 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 5 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 32 Bostyn is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

2 clean sheets in 3 appearances (67% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.7 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
