Nils De Wilde Scout Report

The first name on our scout report today is Nils De Wilde, a defensive midfielder with a gifted intuition in passing. His progressive passing ability is a standout, ranking in the top echelon amongst his counterparts in the Pro League A. This knack for moving the ball forward effectively is a powerful weapon in his arsenal. However, Nils's style of play does reveal some gaps, particularly when it comes to his involvements in the game. Despite his strengths in creating opportunities, Nils lacks the ability to consistently keep possession of the ball, highlighted by a considerably low percentile ranking in ball retention and ball recovery. These percentages trickle down to other underwhelming metrics such as touches and pass accuracy which sit at the lower end of the scale, indicating that his involvement in the game isn't as dense as you'd want from a midfielder. Although he plays primarily in the defensive midfield role, De Wilde shows a notable presence in the midfield third with just a negligible budding within the defensive and attacking penalty areas. Yet, a surprisingly low percentage in the defensive third may suggest Nils could do better to cover more ground defensively, especially considering his designated position. Striking a balance between defensive responsibility and offensive creativity seems to be De Wilde's challenge. Despite being in the lackluster for most key metrics, he manages to rank decently in goal efficiency and assist-per-90 which showcase his potential as an impactful player when given the opportunity to venture forward. However, his discipline could be of concern, as evidenced by above average yellow card stats, which somewhat mirrors his lower duels win percentage. Even if De Wilde does seem to struggle with certain areas of his game, he's a young talent with room for considerable growth. Given his remarkable progressive passing prowess, he can be an asset just waiting for the right grooming to harness his potential fully.
