André Vidigal, at age 25, is proving himself as a potent goal threat in Stoke City's line-up this season. A versatile player who predominantly features as a left winger but is also adept when utilised in various other positions including right winger, attacking midfielder and even as a striker. Vidigal’s highest percentile ranking falls in 'xG per 90' (87.01%) which underpins his inherent predatory instincts in front of the goal. This is further substantiated by his strong 'Goals per 90' (79.22%) and 'Goal Efficiency' (77.92%) rankings. He is also a consistent threat with 'Shots per 90' ranking impressively at 84.42%.
However, Vidigal has glaring weaknesses, particularly in terms of ball retention (14.28%) and progressive carrying (22.08%). He tends to lose possession often, backed by a high percentile ranking in 'Dispossesed per 90' (74.03%). His pass accuracy per 90 (16.88%) is also alarmingly low. Despite these drawbacks, Vidigal's goal scoring ability is undeniable, making him a valuable asset in Stoke City's bid for Championship glory. Nevertheless, if he wishes to elevate his game further and compete at the highest level, there is a clear need to improve his ball carrying and passing skills. His talent for finding the back of the net is certainly enviable, but a well-rounded attacker should strive to excel in all relevant skillsets.
