Rúnar Þór Sigurgeirsson, the Icelandic left-back plying his trade at Willem II, presents a classic case of a defensively oriented player who prioritises intercepting the ball over holding onto it. With impressive ball recovery, he consistently ranks near the top of his fellow Eredivisie defenders, signalling his knack for disrupting the opposition’s play. His style of play, however, shows a stark contrast when it comes to ball retention and passing accuracy—categories where he lags significantly, highlighting a reluctance or struggle to maintain control once possession is won. Interestingly, while his progressive carrying is above average, suggesting an ability to advance play, his passing remains a clear area needing development. Engaging in aerial duels isn't his forte, as evidenced by one of the lowest winning percentages in the league, and his overall duelling success also leaves room for improvement. Statistically, although he commits a relatively high number of fouls, this seems to be part of his tactical approach to aggression in defence. His presence is most prominently felt in the defensive third, pointing to a committed protector of his side’s back line. Overall, this scout report paints Sigurgeirsson as a diligent defensive force, though enhancing his possession and distribution skills could elevate him further in the dynamic Eredivisie.
