Scout report on Coventry City's Kasey Palmer speaks to a player who shines at his best in the attacking third with 40.85% of his possession in this area. It's no surprise then to see his chance creation and successful dribbles per 90 ranking him in the higher tier of players with percentile scores of 85.0% and 90.7% respectively. His style of play, dictating the game with his ball progression ability, can explain his Progressive Carrying and Passing stats at 62.5% and 70.0% respectively.
Palmer, even with an average number of touches, manages to show good efficiency in his goal threat, xA and xG per 90 reflecting a player who is capable of being direct in attack. However, his scoring rate falls significantly with a surprisingly low goal efficiency at 14.16%.
An intriguing aspect of this Jamaica international's stats is his high foul rate, ranking in the 89.92% percentile, along with his yellow card record clocking in at 92.44%. This signals a more aggressive style, although it indicates a weakness with the low duel win percentage (28.57%).
On the defensive side, Palmer seems less engaging, contributing less in terms of recoveries and interceptions, which, coupled with low ball retention, outlines the limits of his defensive attributes. His area of action is firmly in the final third and in midfield, making him less reliable in defensive positions.
In conclusion, Palmer proves to be a dynamic presence in the attacking midfielder role. He displays strength in progressive passing and carrying, chance creation, and successful dribbling but needs improvement in his goal efficiency and defensive contributions. His aggressive nature might be a double-edged sword, lending to his advantage in the attack but also putting him at risk of disciplinary actions.
