Scout reports on Toulouse's versatile central midfielder, Cristian Cásseres Jr., corroborate an impressive showing for the 24-year-old Venezuelan. Cásseres exhibits an exemplary capacity for ball recoveries and retention, ranked in the top 93rd and 77th percentiles respectively among players in the same position in Ligue 1. These sterling metrics underline his defensive credentials and crucial ability to reclaim possession for his team, a significant strength in his style of play.
That said, while his goal efficiency sits comfortably in the 65th percentile, his chance creation metric leaves much to be desired, resting just above the 40th percentile. A clear pointer to an area of improvement for Cásseres—his creative role as a central midfielder needs bolstering. His goals and assists per 90 minutes stats affirm this sentiment, with assists resonating strongly in the 79th percentile, contrary to goals in the 36th percentile; showcasing him more of a playmaker than a goal-scorer.
Slide further down the scale to the 20th percentile, and Cásseres's progressive carrying and passing mechanics are evident weaknesses, as is his relatively low touch metric denoting less possession. His statistics for activity and possession area—dominated by the midfield third—highlight a player who thrives centrally but needs more aggression going forward, with the attacking third accounting for only 17%.
Finally, with a considerable foul rate in the 80th percentile but low yellow card ratio, Cásseres seems to tow the disciplinary line, but should nonetheless focus on committing fewer fouls. Excelling in interceptions and duel wins, his defensive prowess is without question. However, more consistency across the board would transform this young talent into a fully-rounded midfield maestro.
