Ollie Watkins is a striker for Aston Villa who excels in efficient goal-scoring situations and creating chances. He falls particularly high in regards to goal efficiency, proving his ability to convert opportunities into successful goal attempts. This, coupled with his strong showing in chance creation illustrates his dual threat nature as a scorer and creator. Watkins' assist rate is a further testament to his playmaking abilities. Despite this, his relatively low retention and recovery rates may suggest a vulnerability in maintaining control of the ball and reclaiming it. This is further reinforced by his modest progressive carrying and passing rates. Watkins has average aerial duel win percentages, alongside a similar duel win percentage which indicates a solid but not necessarily dominant physical presence. His less-than-impressive pass accuracy may indicate a need for improvement in precision passes. Overall, Watkins' playing style is characterized by his composure in front of goal and ability to create meaningful chances. However, enhancements in his ball handling and passing could further elevate his impact on the pitch.
