Gedson Fernandes Scout Report
Gedson Fernandes has established himself as an excellent all-round presence in the midfield for Besiktas in the Süper Lig this 2023-2024 season. Upon analysis of his scout report, a few select areas of his playstyle immediately catch the eye. Coming into his own at 25, Fernandes has evolved into an extraordinary ball retriever, ranking in the highest echelons of all players in ball recovery. Additionally, his progressive carrying ability—defined by moving the ball towards the opponent's goal—is strikingly high. Together, these traits exemplify a player ready to hunt down and take control of loose balls to quickly launch counterattacks.
However, Fernandes' style of play isn't just defined by his reactivity but also his initiative-taking prowess. Notably, his goal efficiency has also been impressive, and while he may not be the foremost goal threat, his outputs in goals and assists per 90 minutes are comfortably above average. Fernandes' duel win percentages are almost unrivaled, and his interception rate is similarly high, emphasizing his defensive mettle.
While his strengths are aplenty, his player stats also present areas for improvement. Ball retention and chance creation are surprisingly middling: two areas crucial for his position. Similarly, despite high successful dribbles per 90 minutes, his aerial duels win percentage is deceptively low, a worrisome stat for a player often involved in battling for headers in midfield.
In his strengths, Fernandes showcases a level of grit, forward momentum, and defensive solidity that would be an asset to any team. As he develops a better grip on creating chances and winning headers, there’s no denying that Fernandes has the potential to rank among the best midfielders of his generation. Beware of his penchant for drawing yellow cards though: a certain deficit in an otherwise enviable midfield masterclass.
