Our scout report shines a spotlight today on the gem in Borussia Dortmund's midfield, Felix Nmecha. A versatile player chiefly seen orchestrating the game from the center, he's also comfortable playing both in attacking and defensive roles. This 23-year-old German prodigy, boasting superior ball retention skills which place him in the top 20% of Bundesliga midfielders, is also no stranger to progressive ball carrying plays, making him the go-to man for push-forward strategies.
However, his performance isn't without flaws. He falls into the lower quartile when it comes to ball recoveries and his goal efficiency leaves much to be desired. It's clear that, while he is an impressive player during the game's ebb and flow, his defensive responsibilities and goal conversion could use some improvement.
His style of play is characterized by spending most of his time in the midfield third (52.84%), occasionally transitioning to attacking (26.42%) and defensive roles (21.57%). The manner in which he involves himself in duels is spectacular, winning them almost every time. His unbelievable aerial prowess might raise questions about the laws of gravity, as he is virtually unmatched with a stratospheric winning percentage of 98.89%.
Where goals per 90 aren't his strong point, he is among the top scorers when it comes to creating goal threats and his shots per 90 score is also commendable. However, the challenge for this young star is to maintain the striking balance between his attacking duties and ensuring that he doesn’t neglect his filed obligations, given the high percentage of yellow cards to his name.
