In our latest scout report, we delve into the grassy intricacies of the multifaceted central midfielder, Cameron Puertas, who plied his trade in the 2023-2024 season for Union SG in the Pro League A.
With his strikingly versatile style of play—moonlighting as an attacking midfielder, striker, and left winger—Puertas absolutely commands the midfield terrain. His strengths are clearly exhibited in the astonishingly high percentiles for ball recovery and chance creation. This Swiss maestro is a veritable talent at strategically intercepting plays and crafting opportunities for attack—his golden fingertips linked to an eye-popping 100% assist rate every 90 minutes!
Puertas’s attacking prowesses extend to a gold-standard 'xG per 90', demonstrating his lethal nose for goal and an enviable goal threat that hovers in the upper echelons. His effective ball-carrying ability is another standout, signalling a player with a knack for progressing play forwards.
Yet, every virtuoso has his Achille's heel. Puertas's ball retention and progressive passing leave much to be desired, languishing in the lower echelons amongst his peers from the same position and league. Allied to this, his aerial prowess and duel win percentage are diminutive at best, which may see him wrest struggle in kinetic, high-ball contests.
His penchant for committing fouls, too, is a aspect to reform in his game. Discipline thus is a key area of action. An area of further concern is his moderate pass accuracy which begs for improvement.
Overall, our player stats suggest a talented, versatile midfield dynamo with a hawk-eye for assists and a numinous skill for recovering balls, potent in the attacking third, yet whose weaknesses offer room for further tactical growth and improved discipline. An exhilarating player indeed.
