Goals / app

11 goals in 29 appearances (0.38 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.

Strengths

Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.55 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 52.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 58.9 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 28 (~48), then tapers with age. At 28, Flemming sits on 47.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Flemming's projected Rating — 58.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
