At 34, Ante Erceg's rich experience shows in his rock-solid pass accuracy, hovering in the top echelons among Eredivisie strikers. His role at Fortuna Sittard predominantly sees him as a reliable ball retainer with a keen sense of ball security, boasting average possession touches, although his progressive passing is surprisingly limited. A traditional striker, his presence up front lacks the sparkle of goal efficiency, and he's not exactly lighting up the stat sheet with chance creation, indicating a more subdued threat in the attacking third. Despite having fewer touches than one might expect, Erceg's successful dribbling indicates his ability to wriggle free in tight spaces and implies a certain level of directness in his approach. However, his low goal and assist metrics hint at him being somewhat isolated or unused to his optimum potential in front of goal. Erceg's style of play and player stats suggest a striker perhaps better suited to accommodating second duties, rather than leading the frontline. While the Croatian has room to manoeuvre, making a significant impact at this age requires a tactical shift that plays to his strengths in possession and experience.
