Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

B. Dieng is a 26-year-old centre-forward at Lorient, rated 66.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 177th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (43.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.81 goal contributions per 90 (0.74 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dieng.

Judged on this season alone, Dieng graded 41 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 35 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1, on 10 goals and 1 assist in 22 appearances (0.811 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 41). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 18th of 35 of the 35 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1. At 26 Dieng is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dieng missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 22 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.

10 goals in 22 appearances (0.45 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (9th of 18). Add 1 assist for 11 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.81 goal contributions per 90 (0.74 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.5, Dieng carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Ligue 1 of 35. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.81 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.
