Lee Gregory Scout Report
Lee Gregory, finest at the front for Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship league, continues to defy age, performing at the high level even at 35. Versatility is his strength, capable of playing as a left midfielder along with his primary role of a striker. Comparing to his peers, he stands out in Progressive Passing with a high score of 74.6%, meaning he is adept at moving the ball forward, creating opportunities. His Ball Retention percentile of 57.14% testifies to his ability to maintain possession.
However, the English striker does lag in some areas. With a mere 7.94% for Goal Threat, it's evident that Gregory doesn't impose the threat one would expect from a frontman. Similarly, his Progressive Carrying percentile is worryingly low at 14.29%, suggesting his struggles with advancing the ball forward independently. His efficiency in front of goal is average, signified by his 53.97% for Goal Efficiency and his low 13.11% Goals per 90.
Despite his diminishing physical capabilities owing to his age, Gregory's seemingly maintained passing ability and possession control make him an asset. Yet, his lack of goal threat and carrying potential may limit Sheffield Wednesday's attacking prowess, an area they might want to strengthen if they aim for the top.
