Yuki Soma Scout Report
Yuki Soma, a dynamic right winger with versatility across the midfield, has been making significant contributions to Casa Pia AC as a formidable presence in Primeira Liga in the 2023-2024 season. Despite his average ball recovery skills, sitting at 47.27%, Soma shines in holding onto possession with an impressive 78.18% ball retention percentile - a testament to his superb control and composure.
His goal efficiency is at an eye-catching 94.55%, demonstrating Soma's exemplary accuracy in front of the net, backed up by a solid goal threat percentile at 60%. Furthermore, he stands out in progressive carrying, sitting at an impressive 80% percentile, showcasing his ability to drive the ball forward effectively.
Yet, there's room for refinement in Soma's craft. His pass accuracy per 90 of a mere 12.96%, and relatively low percentile in successful dribbles, hint at inconsistencies in the technical side of his game. Moreover, his 20% in progressive passing indicates a need to develop vision and accuracy in advancing the play.
In the final third, Soma's chance creation percentile at 32.73% may raise concerns, reflecting he could improve in setting up scoring opportunities. The silver lining, though, is a promising 62.96% in successful crosses per 90, suggesting his crossed balls can be dangerous when delivered.
At the age of 27, with an astute tactical understanding, Soma displays a delicate balance of experience and potential. It will be interesting to see how his play evolves as he continues refining his weaknesses while leveraging his significant strengths.
