Jerry Yates Scout Report

Jerry Yates is a striker who epitomises efficiency at the sharp end of the pitch for Derby County. At 27, he brings a maturity to the side and operates across various attacking roles, including positions as an attacking midfielder and a left winger. Yates boasts impressive goal efficiency, placing him in the upper echelon of his peers despite a more modest tally of overall goal threat and shots per 90, which suggests he’s the kind of player who makes the most of his chances, a boon for any team looking to capitalise on limited opportunities. His ability to hold onto the ball is commendable, reflected in a solid ball retention rank, yet his passing prowess really sets him apart. With progressive passing numbers standing tall in his scout report, Yates can unlock defences with his vision. This complements an assist rate that's also above average, hinting at his role as a facilitator in the final third. Nevertheless, his relatively low chance creation metric suggests he leans more towards finishing plays than setting them up, perhaps a reflection of his lower touch frequency in matches. However, Yates's style of play does come with some drawbacks. His pass accuracy falls below the median, which indicates room for improvement in retaining possession under pressure. Additionally, he could enhance his threat by increasing his involvement in progressive carries, an area where he lags significantly. This tendency coincides with a conservative dribbling success rate. Ultimately, despite needing refinement in some technical aspects, Yates’s knack for efficiency up front makes him a valuable asset in the Championship.
