Carlos Forbs, at just 20 years old, possesses potential that is hard to ignore. The youthful Portuguese winger has swiftly made a remarkable impact at Ajax. Primarily deployed on the right flank, though also adept on the left, Forbs displays an impressive ability that saw him rank high in chance creation—one of his standout strengths— in the 71st percentile against his peers in the Eredivisie.
His progressive carrying is another strength that marks him out as an exciting prospect. Sitting in the 76th percentile, it's clear that when Forbs is on the move, he is adept at launching threatening attacks. He may only be ranked in the 53rd and 55th percentile for progressive passing and goal efficiency respectively, but this doesn’t tells us the whole story. Forbs’ fantastic vision is demonstrated by his assists-per-90 minute ranking, where he lands in the astonishingly high 87th percentile.
However, there are areas where Forbs could improve. His relatively low ranking in terms of ball retention (44th percentile) and frequent dispossessions (32nd percentile) suggest he can sometimes lose control of the ball too easily. Similarly, his shot figures place him in just the 40th percentile - an area he'll want to refine as a winger.
Nonetheless, given his age and the flashes of brilliance already displayed, there's no doubt Carlos Forbs is an intriguing talent - one to keep a close eye on as his career progresses.
