Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

Z. Vyner is a 29-year-old central defender at Bristol City, rated 45.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 344th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (75.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vyner.

Judged on this season alone, Vyner graded 35 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 9 clean sheets and 2.867 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 53rd of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 29 Vyner is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vyner missed 6 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 46 this season. The 35 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.

2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 35 appearances.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 45.5, Vyner carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
