Ben Osborn Scout Report
Ben Osborn, at the age of 28, plays as a central midfielder for Sheffield United in the Premier League. Despite his experience, his qualitative percentile scores show a mixed bag of performances. Osborn shines in one-on-one defensive situations, showcasing his defensive capabilities - one that outshines many of his counterparts. He also showcases a relatively decent efficacy in goal-based scenarios and progressive passing.
However, there are numerous areas where he lags behind. Notably, his ball recovery, retention, and chance creation scores seriously underperform, limiting his effectiveness in the middle of the park. Additionally, Osborn's threat in front of the goal is nominal, as are his progressive carries, indicating that he may struggle to turn defensive recoveries into successful attacking moves.
When it comes to duels, both aerial and otherwise, his performance is lackluster. His pass accuracy leaves much to be desired, failing to set up chances as effectively as others in his position despite a decent assists percentage. His touches are also relatively low. Despite this, Osborn is not frequently dispossessed, demonstrating a conservative style of play.
Overall, Osborn appears to be a defensively orientated midfielder with a cautious approach to his tasks, showing some promise in direct defensive scenarios but struggling to contribute effectively in various offensive aspects of the game. Improvement in his offensive game could lead to a more well-rounded and impactful performance on the field.
