Andros Townsend, an attacking midfielder for Luton Town, presents a robust profile despite his seniority in age. He's an accomplished chance creator and one of the team's most progressive with the ball, able to carry it forward significantly to stimulate forward movements. He also exhibits solid one-on-one defending skills, uncommon for a player primarily positioned in an attacking role. However, Townsend's ball retention is significantly weak, which correlates with a low tally in successful duels and particularly low aerial duel successes. This limits his effectiveness in physical contests and periods of high pressure, thereby undermining his touch-based engagements reflected in a lower percentile score. He also falls short in providing efficient goal threats, considering a mediocre goal efficiency percentile. On the brighter side, his assist rates and expected assist (xA) values are praiseworthy, suggesting a commendable influence on the team's offensive prowess despite a less impressive expected goal (xG) rate. His directness in attacks could be deduced from his lower touches yet higher than average shots percentage. Overall, Townsend leans more toward a creative, progressive force rather than a secure retaining force on the field.
