Fermin López Scout Report
Fermin López is an assertive, fiery talent at the heart of Barcelona's midfield. He manages to shine in his primary role as a central midfielder and also shows versatility in his secondary position as a left winger. In his 31 matches this season, the Spanish prodigy has achieved the remarkable feat of standing at the very pinnacle of goal threat, shots per 90 mins, and expected goals in his position. A testament to his sharp offensive instincts and finishing prowess.
López's on-ball creativity and ability to both carve out opportunities for his teammates and dribble past opponents are impressive. He frequently steps up as a goal-efficiency maestro and can unlock defenses through his exceptional progressive carrying. However, he may need to become more consistent with his passing as he persists too often with risky, ambitious balls.
Despite these dazzling offensive contributions, he has room for improvement when it comes to ball recovery and retention. His defensive contributions, too, need polishing. On top of this, he loses far too many duels — both in the air and on the ground — for a player in his position. He often relies on fouls to bail himself out, hinting at a blunt defensive instinct.
His activity predominantly revolves around the midfield and attacking thirds, suggesting his knack for getting involved in playmaking and goal-scoring scenarios. But López needs to make his touches count more as he ranks lower in terms of possession, indicating a style favoring direct attacking over composed build-ups.
Overall, Fermin López is a dazzling young talent with a taste for goal and flair for attack. He needs to refine his passing and defensive abilities, but this vivacious 21-year-old has all the potential to become a mainstay in Barcelona's midfield for years to come.
