Nélson Oliveira Scout Report

Nélson Oliveira, the 32-year-old striker from Vitoria de Guimaraes, is a force to be reckoned with in the Primeira Liga. Known for his impressive ability to retain possession even in the most heated moments, he ranks in the 100th percentile for ball retention - a key characteristic that sets him apart in his peer group. His progressive passing and assists per 90 minutes are equally outstanding, with percentile rankings of 93.94% respectively. These metrics highlight his ability to distribute the ball strategically and contribute to his team's goalscoring efforts. However, there are areas that the Portuguese forward could improve on. Oliveira has a relatively low percentile in a number of key metrics such as ball recovery and goal threat, both at 24.24%. These statistics suggest that while he's great at keeping the ball, regaining possession may pose a challenge for him. Additionally, despite his strong passing metrics, Oliveira's scoring potential is yet to be fully tapped, as indicated by his goal threat percentile. Seasoned and experienced, Oliveira has remained a consistent part of Vitoria de Guimaraes' offensive line up. Despite his advanced age for a player in his position, he continues to give younger peers stiff competition, demonstrating that experience and skill can indeed trump raw potential.
