Stephy Mavididi has proven himself as an exceptional talent on the left wing for Leicester City. At just 25, he has showcased an extraordinary ability for ball recovery, sitting at the pinnacle of his peers with a 100% rating - an invaluable trait that keeps his side on the front foot. His progressive carrying - another standout feature in the 87 percentile - draws attention to his capacity to drive the team forward under defensive scrutiny. Yet, his goal threat is a moderate 46.75% without much prowess in progressive passing (48.05%), revealing a player who, despite being able to hold on to the ball, might struggle to convert those possessions into outright goal opportunities.
While his assist rates per 90 is decent, hovering around 61%, Mavididi shows his true potential as a goal scorer. With an impressive goal efficiency of 87% and a strong xG per 90 in the 66 percentile, he's consistently summoned serious threats in the opponent's box. Bolstering this are his successful crosses per 90 in the 76 percentile, another hint at the multifaceted danger he poses in attack.
Mavididi, however, must improve his ball retention and his susceptibility to losing possession (54.55%). Enhancing these areas could see him transition from a strong left-winger to one of the league's elite. Despite those weaknesses, there's no denying Mavididi is a player who exemplifies a dynamic, attack-driven style, marked by high pressing in recovery scenarios and deft finishing in the box. His continued development will be one to watch in the coming seasons.
