Juninho Bacuna Scout Report

At 26, Bacuna already possesses the adaptability to switch effortlessly between various midfield and defensive positions, reflecting his broad skill set.

His potential resides in chance creation as well, with 72.73% of predictors indicating a consistent threat to adversaries. Despite such strengths, Bacuna falls short in ball retention, reflected by a mere 20.78 percentile ranking. Such a weakness can be detrimental, especially in high-pressure situations where control of the ball is crucial. Bacuna's assist per 90 rate and his successful crosses per 90 offer further proof of his creative prowess, with a percentile ranking of 77.92% and 81.82%, respectively.
