Patrik Schick is a robust Striker for Bayer Leverkusen, thriving in the attacking third of the pitch, where he exhibits a high level of ball retention (90th percentile), arguably one of his biggest strengths. The Czech Republic international notably provides a significant goal threat (70th percentile) with efficient delivery, aided by his considerable aerial prowess (78th percentile). His 83rd percentile xG validates this threat, reflecting a sharp instinct for goal scoring opportunities.
Schick's defensive capabilities are worth noting, particularly in the penalty area where he ranks in the upper echelons (78th percentile). This coverage offsets his relative shortcomings in one-on-one defending and overall ball recovery.
The striker's playstyle leans strongly towards chance creation (62nd percentile) but could be considered deficit in terms of pass accuracy and touches (52nd and 14th percentiles respectively). Moreover, Schick's low percentile ranking in progressive carrying and passing suggests he functions better as a goal finisher rather than a build-up player.
Despite these weak points, his impressive stats in the attacking third underscore his indispensable role up front for Leverkusen. At 28, Schick is in his prime, with performances suggesting a player who is direct in attack, efficient in front of goal, and invaluable in his team's assault on the Bundesliga.
