Rafael Barbosa Scout Report

In our latest scout report, we take a deep dive into the player stats of Rafael Barbosa, the central midfielder currently plying his trade for Farense in the Primeira Liga. Barbosa has an intriguing style of play marked by a commendable goal threat (78.78%) and impressive chance creation ability (69.7%). These stats reinforce his automatic directness in attack despite relatively fewer touches on the ball (34.85%). Yet, the heart of the midfield is where Barbosa truly thrives. His skillful dribbling, progressive carrying, and expected Goals+Assists per 90 stand out, showing him to be a proactive player with an uncanny ability to shift gears in favor of his team. However, one can't ignore the considerable weaknesses in his game. His pass accuracy per 90, ball retrieval, and retention abilities are amongst the league's lowest. More worryingly, he's barely seen utility in aerial duels, with a minimal success rate of 1.52%. In terms of player activity and possession, Barbosa primarily operates in the midfield third (48.59%) but also ventures into the attacking third (37.5%) and deflects to the defensive third (15.32%) when needed. Given these stats, it seems clear that while Barbosa is a potent threat offensively, his ball possession and distribution skills require significant refinement. As for defensive contributions, those appear to be a peripheral part of his role, but there's certainly room for improvement there as well. On balance, Barbosa could work more on his consistency to fully unlock his potential and raise his overall efficacy on the field.
