Z. Flemming is a 28-year-old centre-forward at Burnley, rated 59.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 263rd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (55.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.55 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Flemming.

Judged on this season alone, Flemming graded 42 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League, on 11 goals and 0 assists in 29 appearances (0.548 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 45 → 42). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

Goals / app

11 goals in 29 appearances (0.38 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.55 goal contributions per 90 (0.55 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.6, Flemming carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 44, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Burnley finished 19th of 20) — 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 (0.55 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
