Squad depthGoal-getting Winger

M. Mbaye is a 22-year-old winger at Zulte Waregem, rated 51.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4.6% of available minutes). He brings 1.22 goal contributions per 90 (1.22 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mbaye.

On the season, Mbaye graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 6 appearances (1.216 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52. At 22 Mbaye is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 15.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mbaye missed 11 games through injury (foot) out of roughly 36 this season. The 6 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 6 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 1.22 goal contributions per 90 (1.22 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 4.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 51.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.22 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
