Goals / app

7 goals in 31 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 14 goal contributions (0.45 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.6, Vallys carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Superliga of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Brondby finished 4th of 6) — 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 (0.49 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
