VVD was actually used as a Steven Caulker-esque emergency target man at his former club Groningen, most notably during their Eredivisie Play-off against ADO Den Haag. Watch below as big Virge is slipped through on goal, steams away from the defender with a great touch and completely fluffs the finish like a peak Emile Heskey. As it's van Dijk, however, it still manages to go in.
If you want further evidence he can do no wrong, watch his free-kick at 3:15. Shocking goalkeeping.

Anyway, here are his stats as a striker according to futhead.com:
If you wanted to make your team even more topsy-turvy, why not consider the 90-rated left-back Mo Salah, or famous uncompromising centre-back Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
In fact, why not play them together and create the world's second most rogue half of a back four, only slightly less attacking than the Marcelo-Sergio Ramos quadrant for Real Madrid.
And then spend the entire 90 minutes ignoring them and lumping it up to van Dijk, obviously.
