Odsonne Édouard exhibits a distinct style of play as a striker, demonstrating commendable skills in various areas. He plays a crucial role in the team's offensive endeavours with above-average chance creation and progressive carrying attributes, indicating his ability to construct dangerous attacking situations. His capacity to progress the ball via sweeping passes further accentuates his overall attacking prowess.
However, Édouard's goal threat appears to be a sticking point, falling into the lower third, which could be concerning given his primary role as a striker. His duel win percentage and aerial duel success also expose minor issues, suggesting perhaps a limited capability in physical confrontations.
On the defensive front, as is common with forward players, Édouard's one-on-one defending ability does not stand out. His penalty area defending aptitude fares slightly better, although it doesn't mark him out as a substantial defensive contributor.
Furthermore, despite displaying a moderately proficient level of ball recovery, his ball retention seems somewhat unreliable, undercutting his effectiveness as a striking asset. His pass accuracy also borders on middling, suggesting some inconsistency in his distribution.
In general, Édouard's touch metrics are at the higher end of the spectrum indicating his proactive involvement in matches. However, while his shot frequency is laudable, his expected goals (xG) and assists (xA) do not reflect as strong a conversion rate, suggesting an area of potential improvement.
