Antonio Puertas, Granada's versatile threat, has had a rollercoaster season in La Liga. At 32, he displays an impressive style of play, versatile across the front line as a Right Winger, Left Winger, or even a Striker. Despite the varying positions, he consistently impresses with his assists, standing in an impressive percentile of 85.42. Puertas has an uncanny ability to spot and orchestrate game-changing plays, making him invaluable in Granada’s attacking setup.
However, Puertas' performance does show signs of inefficiencies. His age may be starting to affect his Goal Efficiency which is alarmingly at a paltry 13.0%, pointing to a meager conversion rate of the chances falling his way. His Progressive Carrying also leaves much to be desired at a mere 24.0%. This indicates weakness in his capability to advance the ball, which is essential as a winger, and is something that could strand Granada during crucial offensive plays.
Notably and on a positive aspect, Puertas' 'expected goals' or 'xG per 90' stands at an impressive 91.67%, indicating that he gets into the right positions often. This, coupled with his relatively high 'Successful Dribbles per 90' at 70.83%, paints a picture of a player who still possesses a strong attacking instinct and the ability to navigate through tight defenses.
In conclusion, Puertas is a seasoned campaigner who can unlock defenses with his eagle-eyed playmaking skills but reveals lapses in goal efficiency and ball carrying. An improvement in these areas could propel him to being an indomitable force for Granada.
