Karim Onisiwo, the seasoned striker of Mainz 05, at the age of 32, continues to showcase a solid balancing act between ball recovery and one vs one defending, landing in the upper echelons of the Bundesliga performers with 78.0% and 86.0% percentiles respectively. Despite his advancing years, his ability to transition into a defensive role is noteworthy. On the flip side, his performances in the attacking third tend to disappoint, reflected in unremarkable marks in goal efficiency (20.0%) and goal threat (8.0%).
Primarily excelling in his physical presence, Onisiwo's ability to maintain possession under pressure tends to waver, with his ball retention at a middling 46% percentile. As a striker, his disappointing aerial duels win rate (12.5%) perhaps indicates a potential area of improvement. However, Onisiwo possesses above-average progressive carrying (61.2%), suggesting he is capable of moving the ball forward albeit with less incisiveness reflected in his mediocre progressive passing (40.8%).
In the final third, Onisiwo ranks highly (72.9%) indicating a propensity to get into dangerous attacking positions. However, his pass accuracy comes in low at 12.5%, potentially stemming from a risk-taking mindset. Overall, this analysis paints a suggestive picture of a late-career player adept at defending and influencing play, but whose directness in attack doesn't quite translate to goals or assists. A focused review of his attacking prowess might be crucial to elevating his overall performance.
