David Neres Scout Report

David Neres in the 2023-2024 season for Benfica has shown exceptional qualities that exaggerate his flair as a winger. At the ripe, peak age of 27, the Brazilian has been significantly effective in the attacking third, showcasing his proficiency in chance creation (96th percentile), and demonstrating his lethal goal threat — sitting in the 89th percentile amongst his Primeira Liga peers. Per 90-minute metrics equally reflect Neres' instrumental forward presence, with impressive rates of assists and goals alongside superior figures for expected assists and expected goals — all located well above the 90th percentile. However, it's not all perfection with Neres. His ball recovery and especially his progressive passing, sitting meekly in the 23rd and 16th percentiles respectively, reveal a potential weakness. Those are areas he needs to work on to ensure opponents can't exploit these deficiencies. Nevertheless, Neres’ ball retention ability (80th percentile) and his success rates with both dribbling and crosses remain high, adding to his offensive arsenal. Notably, Neres' tendency to be dispossessed per 90 (92.59 percentile) suggests he may risk losing balls high up the pitch due to his adventurous style of play, yet his high figures for progressive carrying augurs well on the counter-attack. Summing up, Neres is a formidable winger cementing consistency atop the Primeira Liga and marking a formidable presence in attacking fortification for Benfica.
