Ryan Flamingo Scout Report

Scout report on Ryan Flamingo, the versatile Dutch 21-year-old who has made quite an impression as a centre back playing for FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie league. The young swan from Utrecht is remarkable at what is considered the heart of his game, ball recovery. With statistics placing him well into the top fifth percentile of the league, opponents find it very difficult to hold onto the ball against Flamingo's relentless pressing. Another notable skill on his profile is his chance creation ability. As a beacon of creativity in the defensive ranks, he creates offensive opportunities that put him in the upper echelons of the league, a trait uncommon amongst defenders. However, certain weaknesses mar his game and hold him from reaching the pinnacle of his potential. His ball retention ability holds a low percentile, suggesting he struggles to maintain possession once he has the ball. This is further aggravated by his pass accuracy that falls into the bottom percentile of league counterparts, demonstrating a deficiency in passing under pressure or longer distances, a key aspect for this position. Again, his dueling ability, both aerially and generally, markedly lags behind his peers. As a defender, located primarily in the midfield and defensive third, higher dueling capabilities are a must, which Flamingo seems to lack currently. His style of play could be more effective with a more physical presence on the pitch, reflected in the win percentages of duels. Despite these drawbacks, Flamingo has shown worth on the defensive end. His high interception rates illustrate his ability to read the game and cut out enemy lines, coupled with a decent recovery rate. The young Dutchman now must work on translating these player stats into more consistency on the pitch. Otherwise, he risks falling into the trap of a player who flitters, rather than flames.
