Advanced metrics, scout report, and player stats for Faride Alidou
Faride Alidou Scout Report
Faride Alidou, the young German winger, is showing plenty of promise in his performances. The 22-year-old's strengths lie in his goal threat and efficiency, where he is in the 65th percentile, suggesting that he is a potent attacking presence for FC Köln. His ability to carry the ball progressively is in the 77th percentile, reflecting on his pace and dribbling skills. He also shows impressive goal-return metrics, scoring in the top quarter amongst his Bundesliga peers with 'goals per 90' in the 74th percentile.
However, Alidou's raw talent isn't without its flaws. His ball recovery and retention rank poorly, languishing in the 15.0% and 12.5% percentiles respectively, signaling a need for improvement in his pressing and ball control. Furthermore, the fact that he is dispossessed in the 87th percentile - an extremely high percentile - highlights a weakness in his ability to keep possession under pressure which can be detrimental for his team.
Alidou's passing accuracy is another critical area requiring improvement, with a concerning percentile of 5.26%. His chance creation and progressive passing skills, fairly fundamental for a winger, are in the lower quarter amongst Bundesliga right-wingers. Consequently, while Alidou is currently adept at goalscoring, his broader attacking contribution to the team is limited.
Alidou is a gifted young player with an evident capacity to register goals but will need to refine his technique, decision-making, and overall game to unlock his full potential. This may well involve honing his passing and increasing his strength to better withstand the physical demands of the Bundesliga.
