Ben Mee Scout Report

The scout report points to Brentford's Ben Mee as an intriguing center back. Though his age (34) is not on his side, he brings considerable experience and consistency within the heart of defense. The crucial concern in Mee's stats is his low ball retention (among the bottom 11%), pass accuracy (bottom 8%), and aerial duels won (only 22%). Though these figures are worrying, especially for a center back, Mee does well to moderate these drawbacks with his other skills. When Mee gets offensive, it's particularly effective; his chance creation, goal efficiency, and goal threat are well above the average for his position and league. His late-career transformation into a goal threat deserves special appreciation, considering his impressive strikes per 90 min (coming in the top 5%). Another factor embellishing his style of play is his successful recovery; around 57% of times, he retrieves the ball, thus negating counter-attacks or press from the opposition. Nevertheless, he does need to work on reducing his fouls and caution rate. Mee is a player who spends fairly equal time in both the midfield and defensive thirds, demonstrating his extensive involvement in the play setup. However, he needs to improve his touch stats to have a better chance at influencing the game. In conclusion, Ben Mee brings an unusual mix of lethal attack and dedicated defense to Brentford, with his role bending more towards offensive actions, which is unconventional for a center back. However, his defensive inadequacies pose a challenge to the team and require fine-tuning.
