Carlos Benavídez Scout Report

Carlos Benavídez, a 26-year-old Uruguayan defensive midfielder playing for Deportivo Alaves in La Liga, brings a mixed bag of abilities to the field. It's interesting to see how he occupies a role that draws heavily on his strengths and covers his weaknesses. His impressive ability to recover the ball, combined with his knack for goal efficiency, are remarkable in the league. His acuity in intercepting the ball is also noteworthy, contributing significantly to his defensive prowess. However, Benavídez also shows areas of improvement including the retention of ball possession and progressive carrying, which is reflected in his rather low impact in creating chances. His passing accuracy is another weakness, meaning he might not be the player you want dictating play under pressure. His disciplinary record also calls for attention, as he's one of the most likely players to commit a foul, and his collection of yellow cards suggests a propensity for overly aggressive play. However, his undeniably strong aerial and general duel win percentages balance his case. Benavídez's game focuses around the midfield and the defensive third where he spends most of his time. His low presence in the attacking third and penalty area aligns well with his position and his strengths. His intense defense enhanced by his imminent goal threat makes him an intriguing player to watch in the coming season.
