Advanced metrics, scout report, and player stats for Madson
Madson Scout Report
Madson, a 24-year-old Brazilian right-winger with Moreirense in the Primeira Liga, exhibits a fascinating profile that marks him out as an anomaly. While his ball recovery and ball retention abilities highly noticeably lacking, languishing in the bottom 10 percentiles, Madson's outstanding goal efficiency (top 93rd percentile) is what undoubtedly makes him a standout performer in the team. Linking up well with his peers and showcasing a reasonable amount of goal threat, Madson's tendency to get himself in front of the goal and take his chances (the top 89th percentile for Shots per 90) cement his reputation as a keen opportunistic goal-scorer.
Another interesting dimension of Madson's play is his knack for positive and progressive carrying of the ball, which sits comfortably in the 71st percentile. However, it's worth acknowledging his lackluster pass accuracy and his below-par successful cross rates, which show a weakness in his wider distributive play.
His goal-per-minute ratio effectively translates his on-field efforts into tangible successes, ranking in the top 89th percentile, even outshining his expected Goal per 90. But his xA per 90 suggests he is not as instrumental in setting up goal-scoring opportunities for his team as he could be.
In short, Madson is a fascinating study of footballing paradox: a player whose subpar ball recovery and retention skills are roundly upstaged by his remarkable goal efficiency, progressive carrying, and opportunistic goal-scoring prowess. If Madson could enhance his distributive play, his overall game could reach new heights.
