Following this season's scout report, Britt Assombalonga's performance has been marked by distinct strengths and weaknesses. Still, the Congolese attacker dominates the pitch when it comes to progressive carrying. His style of play is marked by a high aptitude for driving the ball forward, successfully dribbling against his opponents, and occupying dangerous spaces, out-muscling the upper echelon of Süper Lig's strikers at a remarkable rate.
However, when it comes to the more creative aspects demanded of a leading striker - chance creation, progressive passing, and assisting, Assombalonga leaves much to be desired. His performance in these areas is significantly below par, which may have hampered the offensive performance of Antalyaspor this season.
Furthermore, while his goal threat is decent and he's not shy when it comes to letting shots loose, his goal efficiency remains underwhelming. The player stats confirm that Assombalonga's ability to convert opportunities into goals might be a potential point of concern for the coaching staff.
Assombalonga's ball retention skills are above average, but his lackluster ball recovery rate indicates a possible deficiency in tracking back and pressing opponents. In brief, while Assombalonga is unequivocally a force in fluctuations of field position, his lack of creativity and concluding firepower in front of goal may be roadblocks to his culmination as a top-tier striker.
