Mats Wieffer Scout Report

In this scout report, we inspect the performance of Feyenoord's central midfielder, Mats Wieffer. Playing primarily in the center, but also adept at handling defensive duties, Wieffer has shown a commendable representation of a modern-day midfielder in the Dutch Eredivisie during the 2023-2024 season. Wieffer's style of play is deeply rooted in his ability to regain possession, ranking extraordinarily high in Ball Recovery (97th percentile) and Ball Retention (87th percentile), illustrating his prowess in ensuring his team regularly remains on the ball. This asset is reaffirmed by his high Touches (92nd percentile) influence, thus expanding opportunities for Feyenoord's attacks. His offensive involvement is most significant in generating chances (60th percentile), displaying a considerable Goal Threat (80th percentile), thereby transferring this stout possession foundation into offensive output. Yet, his Goal Efficiency and Progressive Carrying rank average (both in the 47th percentile), signifying room for further development in these areas to increase his overall attacking potency. Looking at his passing, Wieffer positions himself well in Progressive Passing (71st percentile) and demonstrates a high degree of precision with his Pass Accuracy (85th percentile). This combined with his Successful Dribbles (85th percentile) shows a player who can progress the ball upfield with composure. Defensively, Wieffer excels in Interceptions (95th percentile) and holds remarkably high duel win ratios, both in the air (91st percentile) and on the ground (89th percentile), indicating his defensive astuteness and physical prowess. However, his aggression on the field is evident with a high rate of Fouls Committed (89th percentile) but a lower frequency of Yellow Cards (19th percentile), suggesting restrained assertiveness. In terms of the player's activity and possession, the majority of his involvement occurs in the midfield third (57.5%). He's considerably present in the attacking third (26.4%), less so in the defensive third (16.7%), and barely in both penalty areas. This data upholds Wieffer's dominant role as a promising central midfielder with undeniable potential for the future.
