Antonio Sanabria, the Paraguayan striking force for Torino in Serie A, has demonstrated an impressive 2023-2024 season. One of his notable strengths lies in his ball recovery ability, which ranks him within the top 25% of his peers, indicative of his commendable defensive work - quite rare in a striker. His ball retention is even more admirable, placing him in the top 20% among his counterparts, reflecting his ability to keep possession under pressure, vital for a man leading the line.
Unfortunately, his goal efficiency hovers at a disappointing 1.8 percentile. Despite boasting a 69.09 percentile in goal threat, his low scoring ratio suggests his shots on target need a major overhaul. His chance creation is also an area of concern, with a below-average percentile of 14.5, which suggests he might not be the most creative forward in the final third.
His ability to drive the ball forward, as evinced by his 30.9 percentile in progressive carrying, is modest - an area for potential improvement for this veteran striker. However, his progressive passing finds itself in the top 30%, highlighting he is still a potent threat in unleashing other attackers.
In summation, Sanabria is a ball-holding, hard-working striker equipped with presenting opportunities to his teammates but his underwhelming chance creation and goal efficiency numbers suggest a need for improvement in his finishing and inventiveness in the box.
