Adama Traoré excelled in the 2023-2024 season with Hull City demonstrating a masterclass in ball retention, standing out peerlessly amongst his peers in the Championship with a remarkable 100% percentile. This is impressive for a 28-year-old attacking force who showcases absolute technical brilliance and composure when in possession. His passing prowess is also notably formidable, sitting at the 75th percentile and constantly propelling his team forward with precise progressive passes.
While his goal threat is modestly above average (67th percentile), his goal efficiency needs to improve, scoring only in the 27th percentile, which is shockingly low for a player who often occupies striking positions. A lack of creativity is another weakness, evident from the scanty 18th percentile in chance creation.
The Mali international demonstrates a consistent shot rate at the 62nd percentile, which when combined with his xG per 90 at the 61st percentile, indicates that while Traoré does get in dangerous positions and shots on goal, his execution could be honed better.
Defensively, Traoré's notable weakness is his poor ball recovery rate, ranking at a relatively low 13th percentile. However, he compensates for this by rarely losing the ball, reflected in his dispossession ranking of 30th percentile, which for an attacking player harbouring the ball frequently, is commendable.
In short, Traoré's game is characterized by excellent ball retention, influential progressive passing, but is tainted by inefficient goal conversion and lacklustre chance creation.
