Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson, a 32-year-old right midfielder for Burnley in the Premier League, has shown a solid all-round game during the 2023-2024 season. Defensively, Guðmundsson is particularly strong in the penalty area, while he also excels in one-on-one situations on the right side. Despite his age, he has maintained good aerial dominance reflected in his aerial duel win percentage. In terms of passing, he is exceptionally progressive, often looking for forward passes to disrupt defensive lines and create chances, exemplified through substantial assist and expected assist figures.
However, he tends to fall short in more attack-minded aspects. His chance creation and progressive carrying are relatively weak numbers, which may limit Burnley’s offensive game plan when relying on him. His goal threat and goal efficiency are somewhat middle-of-the-pack, indicating he might struggle to turn opportunities into goals. This also syncs with his below-average shot stats. Guðmundsson's ball recovery and retention numbers show he's proficient but not outstanding in these areas.
Overall, Guðmundsson is a player who is aware and capable in defence, excellent in forward-thinking passing, but might struggle with individual offensive output.
