Craig Dawson Scout Report

Based on our scout report, seasoned Premier League center-back Craig Dawson has proven to be quite a force at Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 2023-2024 season. With a robust ball retention ability in the top 7% of his peers, Dawson demonstrates a steadying influence in the heart of the Wolves' defence. This is backed by his midfield and defensive third possession stats, showing his influential role in moving the team forward. However, Dawson's game isn't without weaknesses - his relatively low percentiles in progressive carrying and passing underline a certain inability to transition the ball from defence to attack effectively. This signifies a more conservative style of play from the experienced defender, letting more dynamic teammates take risks further up the pitch. In contrast, his high goal threat percentile shows a surprising attacking prowess, making Dawson a menacing presence during set pieces. Still, his goal efficiency could use some polishing. His card record also suggests a combative approach perhaps too strident at times, earning him a high percentile in this less desirable metric. On a more critical note, Dawson's low percentages in interceptions and recoveries, coupled with a modest overall touches percentage, hint at a reactive rather than proactive defending style, potentially making it harder for him to disrupt opposing plays. All in all, Dawson remains a sturdy and reliable player stats-wise, whose greatest strength is his ball retention. However, enhancing his proactive defending skills could take his game to the next level as his career advances.
