Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 19). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 24th of 34 of the 34 centre-backs in the Super League. At 31 Bürgy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 24.9, Bürgy carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 34. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
