At 28, Argentina's Lucas Boyé might well be entering the prime of his career as a striker for Granada in La Liga. A true defensive forward and a terror for opponents, it's no surprise Boyé's Ball Recovery stands at an exceptional 100%, coupled with solid performances in One vs One Defending and Penalty Area Defending. His playing style predominantly involves being an anchor of possession in the Midfield and Defensive thirds, which contributes to a well-rounded team dynamic. Interestingly, Boyé also demonstrates a knack for Chance Creation, adding a sense of unpredictability to his game.
However, the numbers reveal a striker arguably lacking in some of the more traditional frontman qualities. With Goal Threat and Goal Efficiency sitting relatively low, alongside his strikingly low presence in the Attacking Third and Attacking Penalty Area, it appears Boyé is more a disruptor than a lethal goalscorer. His Progressive Carrying and Ball Retention could also use improvement, but these are areas that can be refined with tactical adaptations. His ability to balance this unconventional role with necessary adjustments could define the trajectories of both his career and Granada’s success in the coming seasons.
