Dwight McNeil is a dynamic left midfielder serving Everton in the Premier League who also covers the positions of left wing-back and left winger. With 35 appearances in the 2023-2024 season, Dwight is strongest on the defensive side of play displaying a high prowess in ball recovery and penalty area defending, with effective one on one defending as well. He also shows proficiency in aerial duels and his exhaustive involvement in the game is reflected in his frequency of possessions per match.
Despite this, McNeil exhibits a few areas that could benefit from improvements. His ball retention and progressive carrying capabilities need notable refinement. He also has a marked lack of goal threat and a lacklustre goal efficiency. Additionally, his overall duel win percentage leaves much to be desired.
Offense is an area where he brings some modest strengths to the table, with his chance creation abilities being average and progressive passing skill being quite decent. In terms of assists, he proves to be a valuable team player, and his expected assists (xA) rate indicates a high capacity for setting up shots on goal, albeit his own shooting frequency is fairly low.
The data suggests that Dwight McNeil, at just 23 years old, is a defensive pillar with a decent passing game. His weaknesses lie mostly in offensive areas and ball retention, areas he can target for improvement to round out his capabilities on the field. His youthful age and promise in several areas indicate a player with a high potential upside for growth and development.
