Ashley Fletcher Scout Report

In the 2023-2024 season, Ashley Fletcher showed a mixed bag of performances as a striker for Sheffield Wednesday. At 28, one should anticipate Fletcher to be at his prime, but his performance metrics tell a different story. Despite showing fair competency in ball recovery and retention, ranked roughly at the 39th percentile, his key areas as a striker yield concerns. His chance creation and goal efficiency sit worryingly low at 17th and 25th percentiles respectively, hinting at a significant room for improvement in front of the goal. Furthermore, his goal threat, progressive carrying, and progressive passing ratings hover around the 30th percentile, further emphasizing a flaw in his attacking approach. His only stand-out trait appears to be his ability to provide assists, sitting at a respectable 73rd percentile. However, this gets overshadowed by his starkly low goals-per-90 metrics, ranking ominously low at the 3rd percentile. Fletcher's passing accuracy is sub-par, sitting in the 44th percentile, mirrored by his xA per 90 (expected assists) and shots per 90 stats, both settling in the 19th percentile - all troubling stats for a designated striker. His xG per 90 (expected goals) statistic portrays a marginal improvement, residing in the 39th percentile, yet is still low for a player of his position. In conclusion, Fletcher appears to be underperforming for his age and experience, especially in comparison to his Championship peers, particularly within his goal-scoring attributes. His saving grace appears to be his decent aptitude in creating goal opportunities for his fellow teammates. That said, his average performance in other areas warrants development for a more well-rounded attacking play.
