Loïc Lapoussin has proven himself to be a standout left midfielder in the Pro League A with Union St.Gilloise this season. At 28, the man from Madagascar has vast experience, and it shows in his stat percentile against peers. His most impressive attribute is his peerless progressive passing: he sits comfortably in the 100th percentile, highlighting his abilities to change the game one pass at a time. Complementing this, is his extraordinary ball recovery rate, which lands at an impressive 94th percentile. Lapoussin is evidently a vigilant presence and a specialist when it comes to winning back possession.
However, he has area for improvements too. Grabbing goals and being a constant threat on the goal doesn't seem to be Lapoussin's strongest trait as his goal threat and goal efficiency percentile sits just above 50%. Moreover, despite being strong in possession, he gets dispossessed more than he should, with a percentile of almost 60% - something he'll want to work on. His successful dribbles and cross statistics stay at a moderate 35.29% and 67.65% respectively, underlining the fact that splitting defences and delivering the final ball is an area yet to be fully harnessed.
Certainly, in Lapoussin, Union St.Gilloise possesses a midfielder with impressive game dictation and ball recovery skills. While his attacking contribution could be polished, his overall performance anchors him as a hardworking and dependable figure in League A.
