Famara Diedhiou, at 31, is a seasoned striker who's seen a fair share of battles on pitches for Cardiff City in the Championship league. The Senegalese veteran has an imposing goal efficiency percentile of 65, suggesting he still wields a mature ability to put the spherical leather in the net. However, Diedhiou's performance in chance creation, progressive carrying and passing leave much to be desired, falling depressingly low within the 6% and 3% range.
His ball recovery and retention skills are not his strong suit, either, just cresting over the 10% mark. When opportunities present themselves, Diedhiou's goal threat percentile at just under 40, indicates that only occasionally will he turn a threat into a netted ball, coupled with an xG per 90 percentile of 27.87. His assists per 90 and shot frequencies per 90 show uninspiring figures, echoing under the 25% and 50% benchmarks, respectively.
When it comes to passing, his overall accuracy per 90 trickles just under 50%, a moderate figure for a forward player. In summary, while Diedhiou's affinity for goal-scoring is noteworthy, he falls significantly short in carrying the ball progressively, chance creation and delivering incisive setups. At 31, his midfield dynamics undoubtedly require refining for him to reclaim his position among the elite strikers in Championship football.
