Diego Carlos Scout Report
In this scout report, we take a deep dive into Diego Carlos's player stats and style of play. As a defender in the Premier League, he has been instrumental for Aston Villa in the 2023-2024 season at the age of 31. Diego Carlos's unique strength resides in his goal threat, a impressive trait standing at an almost untouchable 98.67 percentile. Defenders possessing such potent goal threat are indeed a rare breed.
However, while his offensive contributions are noteworthy, there are areas where Carlos shows signs of struggle. His aerial duels and overall duel win percentages bring noticeable concerns, shockingly both languishing at 2.67 percentile. All too often, especially in the physically intense British game, this could prove decisive in set-piece instances.
His ball recovery and retention skills are modest compared to other centre-backs, notably below halfway mark in percentile rankings. This indicates his occasional struggles to reclaim and maintain control of the ball, shortcomings that become apparent under high-pressing scenarios his rivals often employ.
Yet the Brazilian center back proves his worth on the ball with high percentile rankings in progressive carrying and passing that show his ability to kick-start attacks from the back. However, he attracts attention for his relatively high tendency to commit fouls, ranking high in the 93.33 percentile category. This is an area needing improvement as such propensity for fouls can often invite unnecessary pressure and risk for his team.
Much of Carlos's play manifests in the midfield and defensive thirds, suggesting that he is comfortable coming out of his defensive line to engage with the ball, a trait quite common among modern-day defenders. His low presence in the attacking third however suggests a conservative approach, perhaps a tactic employed to compensate his low duel-winning ability.
All in all, Diego Carlos presents a unique blend of defensive solidity and goal threat, but with clear areas that need improvement, especially if he wants to continue succeeding in the physically demanding Premier League.
