Quinten Timber Scout Report
In this scout report, we focus our attention on Feyenoord's young central midfielder, 22-year-old Quinten Timber, who has been making waves in Eredivisie season 2023-2024. The Netherlands' international has shown remarkable skill in several key areas, especially in ball recovery, where he outperforms nearly 94% of his peers. His high percentile in the chance creation department depicts him as a serious creative force in his team’s attack.
Timber has also displayed a remarkable dribbling ability, being in the top 10 percentiles. This, combined with his goal threat percentile being on the high side, indicates that this player indeed has an attacking style of play. Furthermore, his ability to win aerial duels stands out remarkably, making him a potent force in set pieces.
However, like all players, Timber has areas of weakness that could be targeted by opponents. His interception rates are far below average, suggesting a possible lack of anticipation. Meanwhile, his ball retention ranking is disappointing for a central midfielder, which could potentially disrupt his team’s play if he loses control often.
His pass accuracy statistic, unfortunately, also falls towards the lower end of the scale. These stats portray him as a player who prioritises attack and directness, but needs to work on his defensive role in the midfield.
In terms of player activity, most of his touches come in the attacking and midfield thirds, signifying his aggressive, forward-leaning style. He is found less often in his defensive third, and almost never in his defensive penalty area, as expected from an offensive player.
Overall, Quinten Timber's style of play is dynamic and intense, and with future improvement on his weak points, he could become an even more central figure in his team's successes.
