Adam Wharton, a young defensive midfielder for Crystal Palace, stands out as a player with a strong inclination toward defensive duties, especially when it comes to ball recovery and one vs one defending, exhibiting remarkable proficiency in both areas. He also shows promise in chance creation and progressive passing, indicative of a play style that values setting up opportunities for his teammates. However, his offensive game, particularly his goal threat and efficiency, needs significant improvement. While he has a decent assist record, he doesn't usually pose a significant threat in front of goal. His ball retention skills and penalty area defending are areas that need focus and improvement, as they hint at struggles maintaining possession under pressure and defending in critical areas closer to the goal. His pass accuracy also suggests there's room for growth in his passing game. However, considering his young age, these areas of improvement match his current stage in development. Wharton seems to be a classic defensive midfielder, adopting a more reserved, defensive posture rather than a more aggressive, progressive role on the field.
