At just 20 years of age, Ansu Fati has made a name for himself at Brighton and Hove Albion thanks to his sensational attacking capabilities. Primarily playing as a Left Winger, but also comfortable as an Attacking Midfielder and Striker, Fati's exceptional ball retention skills are arguably his greatest asset. He is adept at maintaining possession, allowing him more time on the ball to create opportunities for xg, xa, shots, and assists. His strength in goal threat and goal efficiency is also remarkable, scoring high in shots and xG.
Alternatively, Fati’s weaknesses are predominantly seen in his defensive characteristics. His one vs one and penalty area defending are areas that could benefit from improvement, but given his position, this shortcoming is not concerning. His aerial duels and overall duels also rank low, suggesting a potential vulnerability in physical confrontations. Additionally, despite having moderate involvement with ball carrying, his progressive carrying ability could be further developed.
Overall, Fati's style of play is direct and effective. At such a young age, his skills are commendable, and his potential still vast. His offensive skills undoubtedly overshadow his defensive, but this aligns with his role within the team. With continued growth and development, Fati is shaping up to be a true attacking force.
