Léo Jabá Scout Report
Léo Jabá, the fluid Left Winger for Estrela da Amadora, distinctly stands out this season in Primeira Liga for his palpable ball recovery and goal efficiency. A remarkably relentless engine, Jabá ranks high in the 81st percentile for ball recovery. His goal efficiency impresses even more, claiming a spot in the lofty 83rd percentile. As adept at progressive carrying as he is, it's no surprise to see him celebrated in the 90th percentile, showcasing his ability to evolve play by surging forward with the ball.
However, despite Jabá's substantial strengths, he also exhibits serious weaknesses. Notably, his ball retention and pass accuracy are both worryingly in the lower 10th percentile, suggesting that he often surrenders possession and misplaces passes. High dispossessions in the 85th percentile cement this inadequacy, indicating he struggles maintaining possession under pressure.
A commendable creator, he's stationed firmly in the 67th percentile for chance creation, indicating he consistently crafts opportunities for his team. His xA (expected assists) per 90 minutes amplify this, residing in the high 81st percentile, signifying the quality of his playmaking.
Sitting in the middle brackets for goal threat, progressive passing, and successful dribbles, there's room for improvement, but his talent is undeniable. Despite his flaws, at age 25, Jabá displays tremendous potential and might be a player to watch over the coming years. He is undeniably an integral component in Estrela da Amadora's tactical arsenal.
