Conor Chaplin Scout Report

At age 27, Chaplin's offensive brilliance is notable, boasting a significant threat in front of the goal as shown by his 95th percentile ranking in goal threat and extraordinary 99.16 percentile in shots per 90. In fact, the rarity of his progressive passing, reaching the absolute top percentile, is a testament to his ability to catalyze attacks.
While his chance creation and goal efficiency are praiseworthy, in the 77.5% and 82.5% percentiles respectively, Chaplin certainly has room for improvement in the ball retention and recovery areas, attaining only 16.67% and 52.5% percentiles. The rarity of his touches, at 21.01%, may also suggest his need for greater involvement in general play. His defensive contribution is underwhelming with low duels win percentage and more fouls committed than average, asserting that his style of play leans heavily towards the offensive end.
His play in the third of the field denotes his positioning, the bulk of which occurs in the midfield third and attacking third, highlighting his role as a 'playmaker'. However, low activity in the attacking penalty area could result in fewer goal-scoring opportunities.

To surmise, Conor Chaplin is a lethal goal threat who flourishes in his role as a strategic playmaker, his sublime severity on goal, and unprecedented progressive passing are his strongest suits. However, better ball retention, recovery, and increased involvement in general play could elevate his game to new heights.
