Experienced headAttacking midfielder

M. van Buren is a 33-year-old attacking midfielder at Hradec Králové, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances, a Season grade of 14, top 45% of Czech Liga attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 0.6, ranking 284th of 327 in the Czech Liga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (49.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Buren.

Judged on this season alone, Buren graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the Czech Liga, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 23 appearances (0.346 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 14).

4 goals in 23 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.5 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 0.6, Buren carries the 43rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Czech Liga of 44, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hradec Králové finished 4th of 6) — 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
