Shamar Nicholson Scout Report

Shamar Nicholson, the Jamaican striker playing for Clermont Foot in Ligue 1, is an intriguing player profile. At 27, Nicholson exhibits a notable strength in providing assists, ranking in the high 78.12 percentile against his peer group. This indicates a commendable ability to supply scoring opportunities to his teammates. However, the contrastingly low figures in terms of goal threat (28.12%), goal efficiency (37.5%), and goals scored per 90 minutes (15.62%) suggest some areas for improvement. As a striker, Nicholson's abilities to retain possession (12.5 percentile rank) and recover the ball (21.875 percentile rank) also fall short, putting him below par compared to his counterparts. His passing game seems reasonable with a 50% percentile ranking in progressive passing and a slightly above average pass accuracy per 90 (62.5 percentile). Still, an improvement is desirable. Overall, while Nicholson displays a laudable attribute as a provider, he needs significant work on his scoring threat and ball handling to truly live up to his role as a lead striker in Ligue 1.
