Rajiv van La Parra Scout Report
Rajiv van La Parra, the seasoned striker for Almere City FC in the Eredivisie, presents an intriguing mix of formidability and room for improvement based on his 2023-2024 season metrics. The 33-year-old Dutch footballer rises head and shoulders above his contemporaries in two key departments - Ball Recovery, registering an impressive 82nd percentile, and Progressive Carrying, holding a laudable standing in the upper echelon at the 93rd percentile. Such numbers showcase his natural aptitude for regaining possession and his inherent ability to navigate the ball up the field under pressure.
Yet, there exist parts of van La Parra's game that are conspicuous by their sub-par performance; most prominently his Goal Threat and Ball Retention with dismal 7th and 11th percentile rankings, respectively. While his Chance Creation rides just above the median at 57th percentile, the lackluster goal efficiency (21st percentile) is concerning for a striker, impacting both his xG and actual goals per 90 minutes.
On a positive note, his assists per 90 sit comfortably above average, indicating a potential leaning towards a more playmaker role. In spite of his advanced age, van La Parra's impressive ball carrying and recovery skills might serve him well in adopting a deeper, more supporting role going forward. Looking towards the future, the veteran's proficiency in those specific areas might just be what Almere City FC need to leverage as they plan their strategy for the upcoming seasons.
