Simon Banza Scout Report

Simon Banza, a now established name at Braga, finds his feet firmly set in the Primeira Liga. His 27th year was pivotal in underscoring his reputation as a lethal striker. Skewing heavily in the areas where it matters most, Banza has shown excellent goal efficiency and ability as a goal threat with percentile rankings at 93.94% and a perfect 100% respectively. His incomparable potency is highlighted by his 'Goals per 90' and 'xG per 90' stats, both of which hit the 100th-percentile,telling a story of a player in his prime, making every minute count. His exemplary goal threat is supplemented by his chance creation ability, ranking in the impressive 90.91 percentile. Marred only slightly by a lower pass accuracy per 90 of 21.21%, there is room for development in his delivery. Another notable weakness lies in his progressive carrying percentile standing at a meagre 3.03%, indicating his preference to rely on service than to attempt creation himself. However, Banza flips the narrative again positive with a formidable score in 'Assists per 90' which stands at 81.82%. Remarkably, his skills extend beyond scoring as he lends his vision and passing talent to set others up for the spotlight. In the end, Simon Banza is a clinical Striker who thrives in front of goal but can also create impressive opportunities for others, albeit with room for improvement in ball delivery and progressive carrying. Braga has a crown jewel in Banza, capable of turning games on their head. More to come from this Congolese virtuoso.
