Gonçalo Franco Scout Report

Gonçalo Franco, the 23-year-old versatile midfield orchestrator for Moreirense in Primeira Liga is an impressive figure in multiple areas of the pitch. Operating dominantly as a defensive midfielder but also capable of handling responsibilities as a central or attacking midfielder, Franco is undoubtedly multi-talented. The defining feature of his style of play, as seen in his top-tier 98.48% percentile ranking, is his exceptional ability in ball recovery and interceptions, indicative of his contribution to Moreirense's defensive solidity. Also, his ball possession is chiefly concentrated in the midfield third at 58.88%, solidifying Franco as a true midfield maestro. However, pieces of his scout report also shine light on areas that need improvement. Notably, Franco seems to be struggling in ball retention and progressive carrying, with disappointingly low percentile figures of 10.60% and 6.06% respectively. These figures question his ability to maintain possession and move the ball forward effectively, two fundamental skills for a midfielder. His proficiency in key offensive measures such as goal threat and chance creation fall in the lower half of the percentile rankings, hinting at an overall safe rather than adventurous style of play. Franco also demonstrates an above-average shot-taking tendency, but doesn't quite see the same efficiency in converting these shots into goals. His goal efficiency and xG per 90 fall under the 50% percentile despite a high shots per 90 ranking, underscoring his need to refine his shooting accuracy. Lastly, with his fouls committed sitting at the higher percentile of 77.27%, it suggests Franco needs to manage his challenges better. Overall, Franco's stats paint him as a defensive powerhouse with room for refinement in progressive ball movement and attacking contributions.
