In the right flank of SC Heerenveen, young Swede Patrik Wålemark holds his ground firmly. The 22-year-old right-winger is above average in goal threat, shots per 90, and xG per 90, indicating a knack for gut-instinct positioning and shots on target. Wålemark's ball recovery stats are also in the top quartile, pointing to a decent prowess in retrieving possession.
But here's the rub: Wålemark's percentile statistics expose a glaring weakness in ball retention and pass accuracy per 90. His ball retention is a tiny 6.35%, and pass accuracy limps at 1.61%. This suggests that while he can win the ball and make aggressive moves, he struggles to hold onto it or distribute it effectively - a considerable disadvantage for a player in his role and position.
Moreover, his progressive passing score, assist numbers, and successful crosses per 90 are all subpar, hinting at a need to improve his strategic contributions to the team beyond just goal threats. In essence, Patrik Wålemark, while showing substantial promise as a goalscoring winger, needs to seriously address his ball skill aspects to fully exploit his potential and contribute more effectively to the team's advance.
