Yeray Álvarez Scout Report
Yeray Álvarez, Athletic Club's seasoned 29-year-old center back, has his roots firmly planted in Spain's La Liga. Álvarez draws attention for his exceptional ability to carry the ball forward, rapidly advancing Athletic Club's play with a 96.875 percentile ranking in progressive carrying - a class-leading trait among his peers. His progressive passing is also notable, standing in the impressive 82.8125 percentile.
The central defender showcases aerial prowess like a seasoned falcon in the beautiful game, boasting a monstrous 96.83 percentile win rate in aerial duels. Moreover, his duel win percentile rests astonishingly high at 98.41, echoing his formidable role in grounding opposition efforts.
However, Álvarez exhibits a discernable tick in his armour, with below-average percentile ranks for ball recovery and retention. His chance creation and goal efficiency also hover around the middle of the pack, while his perceptively low goal threat and pass accuracy, ranking at 7.8125 and 26.98 percentile respectively, spotlight areas that potentially hinder Athletic Club’s attack from the back.
Falling predominantly on the wrong side of law with a 71.43 percentile in fouls committed, it's a relief his yellow card percentile stays low at 6.35, intimating prudence in his aggressive style. His 87.3 percentile recovery rate further compensates, demonstrating a relentless spirit to win back possession.
Including his limited forays into the attacking third, the scout report suggests that while Álvarez may not be a typical playmaking center back, his invaluable capability to suppress opponent’s attacks combined with his exceptional progressive movement usher a notable dynamism in Athletic Club's style of play. This La Liga season, viewers can expect more captivating displays of his assertive and progressive football style.
