Memphis Scout Report
Memphis, playing as a striker for Atletico Madrid in La Liga, has showcased an impressive performance during the 2023-2024 season. At 30 years of age, the Dutch national has demonstrated remarkable proficiency in chance creation, landing himself in the 93rd percentile. Standing out even among top-rank strikers, his remarkable positioning, ingenious plays and match sense have indirectly led to many scoring opportunities for his team.
The statistics demonstrate an undeniable offensive threat with a goal threat rating of 84.78% and a shot rate of 100%. Coupled with his progressive passing and carrying percentages (both over 70%), Memphis emerges as a force to reckon with, creating scoring opportunities while also holding his own in one on one defending.
However, every player has his Achilles’ heel, and in Memphis's case, it is his low goal efficiency, ball recovery, and aerial duels win percentage. Particularly, the efficiency with which he converts chances into goals (28.26%) might be a point of concern. Even with a commendable ball retention rate (73.91%), his inability to retrieve the ball once lost, as evidenced by a mere 17.39% ball recovery rate, leaves room for improvement.
Moreover, his activities and possession areas indicate that he has a considerable impact in the midfield and attacking third but less so in the defensive zones. In general, Memphis has proved his mettle as an exceptional striker committed to creating opportunities, but strengthening his conversion rate and ball recovery could elevate his game further.
