Judged on this season alone, Weghorst graded 42 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 32 centre-forwards in the Eredivisie, on 8 goals and 4 assists in 29 appearances (0.568 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 36 → 42). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 28th of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the Eredivisie. At 33 Weghorst is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Weghorst missed 3 games through injury (ankle, yellow cards) out of roughly 36 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.
