Brandon Thomas-Asante has consistently shown why he is one of the Championship's most impressive forwards with West Bromwich Albion in the 2023-2024 season. At 25, the Ghanaian striker has demonstrated remarkable ball recovery, ranking him in the top quartile of his peers with a percentile of 73%. His chance creation and ball retention capabilities are also impressive, with ratings above 60%, affirming his ability to mantain control and set up scoring opportunities for the team.
However, his passing showed a potential room for improvement, with his Progressive Passing and Pass Accuracy falling below the league's median percentile at 33% and 32% respectively. A transformative part of his gameplay was his high Goal Threat and Progressive Carrying at 79%, which revealed his skill in advancing the ball towards the goal-scoring area and his ability to create shots for himself.
It is noteworthy though, that despite his goal threat, he was found wanting in the area of actual goal efficiency, with a percentile ranking of just over 17%, indicating he needs to improve in that aspect to fully maximize his threat. On a more positive note, his xG (expected goals) per 90 minutes and xA (expected assists) per 90 minutes hover around the above average mark, suggesting he is in the right positions even if not always finishing the chances. In summary, Brandon Thomas-Asante has proven a formidable forward with exceptional ball carrying and recovery skills but needs to work on his passing game and shot-to-goal conversion rate to truly dominate the league.
