Erdal Rakip Scout Report

Erdal Rakip is a clear standout in the Süper Lig, performing impressively as a defensive midfielder for Antalyaspor. His scout report from the 2023-2024 season highlights his exceptional ability in regaining possession, with a ball recovery metric which places him unequivocally at the top of his peers in the league. This, coupled with his almost extraordinary interception numbers, testifies to a solid, constantly alert, style of play that's difficult to bypass. However, Rakip comes across as a bit of a paradox in the progressive side of the game; while he excels at driving the ball forward, with a progressive carrying percentile in the low 90s, his pass accuracy and ability to create chances, evident from his progressive passing and chance creation stats, are found wanting when compared to his compatriots in the league. Moreover, despite the Macedonian's tenacity in regaining lost ground, he seems to court danger a tad too much for the liking. His tendency to commit fouls and tot up yellow cards rank alarmingly high, characterizing him as a high-risk, high-reward player. In front of goal, too, his threat seems rather limited, with a lower-tier goal per 90 percentile. In spite of these, Rakip's ball retention figures are promising. His silky dribbling ability and stern aerial presence make him a well-rounded midfield dynamo, hindered only slightly by an underperforming attacking repertoire. With an uncanny knack for recoveries, he is certainly an asset for any side in desperation for a defensively tight midfielder with a bit of an adventurous streak.
