Scout report
V. van Dijk is a 35-year-old central defender at Liverpool, rated 37.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 335th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dijk.
Judged on this season alone, Dijk graded 34 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 10 clean sheets and 1.994 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 58 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 57th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 35 Dijk is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 20.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Liverpool finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 97.9/100).
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.99 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 37.2, Dijk carries the 57th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
