Few things define Max Jimmy Dean (England) better than the scoresheet — the Gent (Jupiler Pro League) forward is one of the squad's main goal threats in 2025/26. At 21, he is still at the start of his career, which makes these numbers a projection as much as a record. He stands 178. He was born in England.

Over 23 appearances he has been directly involved in 8 goals: 7 scored, 1 set up. That comes across 1,187 minutes on the pitch, or 0.53 goals per 90 minutes and 0.61 goal involvements per 90. He has started 11 of those matches. That works out to a goal roughly every 170 minutes.

He has attempted 38 shots (55% finding the frame) and converts 18% of them. He creates chances too, with 16 key passes and 73% passing accuracy. In one-on-ones he completes 31% of his dribbles.

He wins 42% of his duels. 2 of his goals have come from the penalty spot. Disciplinary record this season: 2 yellow and 1 red. Put together, his season yields an IIG of 7.6, the league-weighted impact score explained on our about page.
