Steve Mounié Scout Report
Steve Mounié, the Beninese striker at Brest, is an intriguing package with unique strengths and weaknesses. Approaching the twilight of his career but still delivering critical performances in Ligue 1, his play this season flagged the spotlight on certain aspects of his game. His attacking threat, for example, is worth noting with a percentile ranking of 65.62% for goal threat and an imposing 81.25% for shots per 90. His ability to consistently get shots off borders on the elite. However, these attempts haven't translated into a high rate of finding the back of the net, evidenced by a disappointing goal efficiency percentile of just 12.5%; a rift between his high number of attempts and actual goals scored.
Creativity and ball progression do not appear to be strong suits for Mounié. His percentile rankings for chance creation and progressive carrying are both alarmingly low, 3.12% and 6.25% respectively, underscoring a clear area for improvement or, perhaps, a limitation of his style of play.
Mounié's ball recovery and retention percentile rankings, at 34.37% and 37.5% respectively, suggests a player who's not particularly adept at winning ball possession or keeping it once he has. This hints at a more target-man style; he's not there to model intricate interplay, but rather provide a presence upfront, acting as an endpoint for offensive actions rather than the key link in creative play.
Overall, while Mounié's goal threat is considerable, his underwhelming efficiency and lack of creative capabilities arrive as key limitations. He hits a lot, just not necessarily with the precision desired. His elevated status in Ligue 1 indicates commendable resilience, yet leaves one wondering what could've been, had he managed to bridge the gap between his shooting frequency and scoring efficiency. Steve Mounié stands as a testament to how fine margins can separate an exceptional striker from an average one.
