In the world of Ligue 1's football, Carlos Soler has swiftly established himself as a consistent performer for Paris Saint-Germain in the 2023-2024 season. At 27, this Spanish central midfielder's stats suggest an intense focus on offensive metrics, particularly in goal contribution. He lands comfortably in the top 20% in both goal threat and goal efficiency with an impressive rate of goals and assists per 90 minutes.
However, in the scout report, Soler's style of play also indicates a strong inclination towards ball retention, underlined by a high percentile of 69.1%. His ability to consistently create chances too, is indicated by a respectable percentile of 64.19%. We also see him touch the ball quite frequently, within Ligue 1’s top 23%, suggesting Soler’s importance in the possession game for PSG.
His influential performance in the midfield and attacking thirds is backed up by player activity stats; a significant chunk of his involvement is in these areas, reaffirming Soler's offensive role. However, areas of concern exist in his defensive game. Despite his occasional deployment as a right-back, he appears to lag in metrics like ball recovery – his percentile is worrying at just 8.64%. Defensive stats like interceptions, duel winning, and recoveries are equally concerning, again languishing in the lower end of the scale, indicating a potential vulnerability under opposition pressure.
In summary, Carlos Soler is an attack-oriented midfielder who excels in goal contributions and ball retention but needs to work on his defensive game. While his game style shines in the offensive aspect, bolstering his defensive skills could take his game to the next level, enhancing his overall contribution to the team.
