Michael Gregoritsch, the 30-year-old Austrian striker racks up another season with SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. A forward known for his goal threat, Gregoritsch has strong defensive capabilities unusual for a striker, shown by his high percentile ranks in both penalty area defence (74%) and ball recovery (72%). Unsurprisingly, his duel win rate is impressive at 81.25% and aerial clashes often swing his way (68.75%). However, he isn't all about power, emerging with a progressive passing score of 83.67%, which confirms his ability to initiate creative plays and contribute beyond scoring. Gregoritsch's touch stats indicate he's very comfortable playing deep, with high rankings in the defensive third (95.83%) and defensive penalty area (87.5%). However, he needs to improve on his ball retention (18%) and his low chance creation (24%) raises concerns about his offensive consistency. Gregoritsch's effectiveness in front of goal is encapsulated by his shot stats, towering at 89.58%, however, his low goal efficiency (10%) points to potential wastefulness that he should work on. This combination of defensive prowess, offensive threat, along with certain areas in need of improvement makes Gregoritsch an intriguing figure in Freiburg's squad.
