Lucas Ocampos has been a real workhorse for Sevilla in the La Liga season of 2023-24, delivering exceptionally in the field of ball recovery, with a stellar percentile ranking of 100%. This strong defensive contribution — a rarity in a winger — marks him as an essential player in the recovery phase. However, Ocampos' attacking statistics are somewhat middling, with low goal efficiency and chance creation rates (16% and 26% respectively) suggesting that he might struggle to convert opportunities into concrete results. This lacklustre performance upfront is further highlighted by his average ball retention statistic, ranked at a pedestrian 22%, revealing a tendency to lose possession relatively often, especially for a player of his experience and versatility.
Though Ocampos’ overall passing and dribbling efficiencies hover around the halfway threshold, they fail to fully alleviate the concerns raised by his attacking variables and ball retention. His high dispossession rate (75%) reinforces this weakness in his game. However, Ocampos remains an important piece in Sevilla's tactical setup, particularly due to his ability to defend from the front and remediate in critical situations - an aspect enhanced by his versatility and adaptability in various positions across the field. His challenge moving forward will be to elevate his attacking productivity to match his peerless ball-recovery prowess, to become a well-rounded, indispensable asset for Sevilla.
