Casper Tengstedt is a shining beacon at the forefront of Benfica's attacking powerhouse. This striker, just 24 years old, has proven himself a real threat in the Primeira Liga. Tengstedt excels at creating opportunities and applying pressure in the offensive third. This is reflected by his spectacular 96.97 percentile ranking in Chance Creation, Goal Threat, and Progressive Carrying. His consistently high-level performances have been duly noted in his xA and xG per 90 metrics as well, which are in the top 7% of his peers – those stats encapsulate Tengstedt's sheer anticipation and soccer intelligence on attacking play.
This Dane is no one-trick pony though; he showcases commendable Ball Recovery (69.7%) and displays a reliable ability in holding possession with above-average Ball Retention (54.55%). However, his Pass Accuracy per 90 and Progressive Passing are areas that require improvement; hovering around 30-36%, these are aspects of his game that may hinder Benfica's fluidity in attack. Yet, his Goal Efficiency also raises some eyebrows. Despite his menacing goal threat and fantastic scoring figures (Goals per 90: 81.82%), his comparatively low Goal Efficiency (30.3%) suggests his high scoring record is supported by a volume of attempts rather than clinical finishing.
Overall, Tengstedt boasts a mix of tangible efficiency and unrealised potential that makes him a tantalizing prospect in the footballing realm. He's a decisive figure leading the Benfica attack and as he progresses and refines his game, there's every chance we'll see this maverick make waves across the European football scene.
