Goals / app

11 goals in 34 appearances (0.32 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (15th of 18), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 17 goal contributions (0.5 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.19 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 65.9, Kostons carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eredivisie (top 35%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (PEC Zwolle finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.53 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.
