Benjamin Nelson's scout report reveals a promising young talent at Oxford United, showcasing a style of play that's heavily reliant on carrying the ball from the back. At just 20, he already demonstrates a mature capacity for progressive carrying, ranking impressively high, which indicates a commendable confidence in advancing play from the defence. His future in the Championship looks bright if he can enhance his ball recovery and passing, areas where he's trailing behind his peers. Despite a respectable duel win rate, his aerial duel success needs improvement for someone in his position, particularly in a league as physically demanding as the Championship. Positional play sees him mainly rooted in the defensive third, aligning with his role as a centre back. While his current level of ball retention and pass accuracy requires refinement, Nelson's strengths in carrying the ball forward could be the foundation for a more rounded defensive prowess as he gains more experience and minutes on the pitch.
