Benjamin Bourigeaud Scout Report

Benjamin Bourigeaud is a versatile midfielder who has carved out a unique position at Rennes, embodying the characteristics of a playmaker with high adaptability. At 30 years old, Bourigeaud primarily operates as a right midfielder but has exhibited a capacity to perform well in defensive midfield roles as well as on the right wing, demonstrating a tactical flexibility rare amongst his contemporaries. His match statistics paint a clear picture of a player who excels in progressive passing (98th percentile) and pass accuracy (96th percentile), indicating his key role in moving the ball forward and maintaining possession. His high 'successful crosses per 90' score (94th percentile) further reinforces his crucial part in Rennes' attacking prowess - both in building up play from deeper positions and delivering pinpoint crosses into the box. However, it's not all about going forward for Bourigeaud; his ball recovery rate sits at a remarkable 82nd percentile, highlighting his solid contributions to defensive efforts. Another testament to his well-rounded game can be seen in his xG and Goals per 90, both scoring in the top 10 percentiles, showing his potential as a goal threat from midfield. Some weaknesses are evident in Bourigeaud's performance data, namely his low goal efficiency (2nd percentile) and progressive carrying (6th percentile), suggesting a struggle to convert goal-scoring opportunities and a lack of dynamism when driving the ball forward - areas for potential improvement. Despite these weaknesses, Bourigeaud continues to be an essential component of Rennes' tactical setup, providing a blend of creativity, goal threat, and defensive solidity that makes him a player of great value in Ligue 1.
