Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

T. Dallinga is a 26-year-old centre-forward at 1. FC Köln, rated 67.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 160th of 322 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (40% of available minutes). He brings 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dallinga.

Judged on this season alone, Dallinga graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 47 of the 47 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances (0.434 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 21st of 47 of the 47 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga. At 26 Dallinga is in his prime years, and a market index of 40.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dallinga missed 5 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 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.

2 goals in 23 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.43 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.22 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.6/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.4, Dallinga carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Bundesliga of 47 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
