Steffen Tigges, the 25-year-old striker for FC Köln, demonstrates a tantalizing blend of defensive tenacity and striking precision in this Bundesliga season. His one-on-one defending and penalty-area defending ranks in the top quartile, a unique trait for a striker and underscores his work ethic to contribute to the team's defence. Still, Tigges' efficacy in front of goal remains reasonably solid; with a goal threat and efficiency around the 60th percentile. He also proves to be an adept aerial player with a win percentile of over 66%.
However, Tigges may need to work on his ball retention skills, which rank a low 20th percentile. Additionally, his chance creation and progressive passing are considerably below average, which may limit the team's attacking dynamism. Furthermore, he seems to be frequently stationed in midfield and defensive thirds, as indicated by his very high percentile rankings there. This positioning could perhaps restrict his scoring opportunities, given his relatively low touch percentile in the attacking third and penalty area.
Generally, Tigges profiles as a diligent striker with above-average goal efficiency, yet there is room for substantial enhancement in his playmaking and ball retention abilities.
