Mathieu Maertens Scout Report
In this scout report, we're spotlighting Mathieu Maertens, a seasoned 29-year-old striker currently showcasing his versatile style of play with OH Leuven in the Pro League A. Maertens' agility and dynamic playing ability see him alternating between positions as an attacking midfielder and right winger as and when required.
When it comes to creating chances, he falls into the lower quarter which slightly hampers his overall performance. However, his goal efficiency rests comfortably above average, still marking him as an effective forward. Oddly enough, his goal threat is quite low, suggesting he might not always be in the right place at the right time.
Despite this, Maertens makes up for it in other areas. Standing out as a veritable passing maestro, his progressive passing skills are unmatched in the league. Couple that with his above-average assist rate and it's clear Mathieu is much more than just a goal-scorer. Certainly, he is a strategic asset to his team, setting up a lot of play, as evidenced by his extraordinary Expected Assists (xA) per 90 minutes score.
Moreover, the player excels in the physical aspect of the game, boasting a high win rate in both aerial duels and overall duels. While his touches rank high, thus proving he is an integral part of the team's possession play, his remarkable shooting stats truly deserve applause.
But one glaring issue arises from his disciplinary record. Maertens' fouls committed and yellow cards accumulation rank at an alarming 100 percentile, hinting at an aggressive style of play that might often put his team at risk.
Maertens is clearly a player who thrives in the heart of the action, largely operating in the midfield and attacking third. He's a dynamic, team-focused player with unparalleled passing skills, his main weakness lying in his disciplinary record.
