Daniel Johnson Scout Report

Our scout report today is on Stoke City's Daniel Johnson - a versatile player adept in multiple positions, primarily seen shining in the attacking midfielder role, with notable stints on the left wing and central midfield too. Johnson has delivered a largely mixed performance for the 2023-24 Championship Season. A seasoned 31-year-old Jamaican national, Johnson shows exemplary credentials in creating goal-scoring opportunities, with xA and xG scores per 90 in the 80th percentile, indicating a strong knack for decisive play. Scoring above average in the chance creation domain (57.5%), Johnson's style of play sees him involve actively in Stoke City's offensive plans. This creative force generates a high goal threat (73.33%) affirming his offensive capacities. However, it's worth pointing out that Johnson's goal efficiency leaves room for improvement (18.33%), suggesting a need for refining his finishing ability. Defensively, Johnson's ranks are below par; he wins very few duels (7.14%), which indicates limited aerial prowess and slightly lackluster in-the-trenches defense. Coupling this with low ball recovery capacity (37.5%) and progressive passing (30.83%) suggests Johnson's play style is more tuned for the attacking third, where his skills can make a bigger impact. Yet, his robust stamina is acknowledged by above-average recoveries (52.10%) and a tendency to occasionally engage in an aggressive style of play, as suggested by higher fouls committed (67.23%) and yellow card score (63.03%). At first glance, it becomes evident that Johnson's lower touch scores mean limited possession, but these are counterbalanced by his direct attacking style, high xA/shot stats, and the ability to bring sudden lethal threats in opponents' defensive areas. However, improvement in completing opportunities and defensive ability would elevate his rank among Championship midfielders. Johnson continues to be an intriguing player to watch for his goal contributions and all-round stamina.
