Elliot Anderson Scout Report

Elliot Anderson, a youthful prodigy from Newcastle United, manifests a captivating style of play, principally in the central midfield. His skill set aptly encompasses a proclivity for recovering possession, with defensive prowess evident in one-on-one and penalty area duels. Astonishingly, his ability in progressive carrying is nearly unparalleled, driving his team forward with bursting runs from midfield. Anderson's talents transcend his defensive duties, though. He also shines brightly in the arena of chance creation, perfectly epitomizing the modern box-to-box midfielder with his near-telepathic ability to fashion opportunities for his teammates. This is also supported by a high percentile in assists and a respectable ‘expected assists’ (xA) rate. However, his game does come with some flaws. His ball retention ability leaves room for improvement, which may limit his effectiveness in maintaining possession under pressure. Similarly, his pass accuracy is notably lower than might be expected of a midfielder in a top-tier league, which could hinder the efficient circulation of the ball and buildup play. In terms of goal threat, Anderson demonstrates some promise but lacks efficiency in converting his chances into crucial goals, which could be a potential area of development. Lastly, despite being involved in a moderate amount of duels, the percentage of victories he claims is relatively lackluster, suggesting a need to work on his physicality or reading of the game.
