Jan-Niklas Beste Scout Report

Playing on the left wing for FC Heidenheim in the Bundesliga, 25-year-old Jan-Niklas Beste has developed a fascinating style of play—one marked by an uncanny knack for ball recovery. Standing proud at the top percentile of his peers, his ability to regain lost balls is nothing short of phenomenal. However, while he leads in ball recovery, ball retention is an area for improvement. His low ranking at 5th percentile highlights a propensity for finding himself easily dispossessed. His adeptness at chance creation and progressive carrying portrays him as a considerable asset to the team's attacking strategy, but with room for progress as both metrics find him in the middle of the pack at 47.5%. Visual effectiveness aside, Dankel's statistical contributions to goal output are remarkable. His goal efficiency sits at the 95th percentile, further embellished with 97.37% proficiency in assist providing and successful crosses per game. However, a significant hamper to Beste's otherwise impressive profile is his pass accuracy per 90, which dwells dismally at the 10.53rd percentile, exposing a clear weakness in his game. His relatively low successful dribble rate of 36.84% also indicates a player who perhaps relies less on personal flair and more on his team's collective strength. Despite certain imperfections, Jan-Niklas Beste displays an intriguing amalgamation of defensive tenacity, clinical efficiency and support capabilities upfront. With some refinement, notably on his passing and ball retention, Beste may well become an indispensable player on the field.
