Rodrigo Bentancur, playing in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur, excels in both possession and threat in front of the goal. As a Defensive Midfielder, his Ball Retention and Progressive Carrying scores are good, demonstrating his ability to maintain the ball and move it forward effectively. However, his strength becomes more apparent in the final third with an excellent Goal Threat rank, indicating his potential as a scoring threat, especially considering his high Shots and Expected Goals (xG) per 90 minutes metrics. His Pass Accuracy is also exemplary, mirroring his superior Progressive Passing skill.
Nevertheless, certain aspects of his game could use improvement. His win percentage in both Aerial Duels and overall Duels is somewhat lacking, suggesting a less-than-optimal physical presence in challenges. Moreover, his One vs One Defending and Penalty Area Defending percentiles are quite low, indicating defensive vulnerability particularly in mano-a-mano situations. His Chance Creation percentile could also be heightened to evolve into a more well-rounded midfielder. Despite some areas for growth, Bentancur's overall performance exhibits an attacking characteristic and progressive play style, unusual for a traditional Defensive Midfielder, but potentially advantageous in the modern game.
