Facundo Medina Scout Report

Facundo Medina is an impressive fixture in Lens' defense line, his standout performances in the 2023-2024 season in Ligue 1 have set him apart from his counterparts. A veritable net for the ball, his recovery stats place him towards the absolute top of his peers - only 1.5% of center backs in the league can match him in this regard. Showing a keen eye for closing down opponents and initiating a counter-attack, Medina is superb in regaining possession for his team. His chance creation percentile is exceptional, coming in firmly at 100%. His progressive carrying and passing edge close to perfection too, demonstrating Medina’s capability to not just defend but also facilitate transitions from defense to attack. However, our scout report is not without caution, as the Argentine defender demonstrates a weak point in ball retention, where he falls into the bottom 20% of defenders. His pass accuracy too, is more towards the mid-latitude of his contemporaries. These are areas identified for further improvement. Interestingly, his style of play shows he’s no stranger to physical contest, reflected in his high foul and yellow card rates. He'd be wise to temper this passionate aggression delicately to avoid costly penalties for his team. His relatively low duel-win percentile might signal an opportunity for honing his tackling skills. Generally, Medina's activity predominantly lies in the midfield third, ably supporting his ball carrying and progressive passing stats also hinting that Lens have a defender who’s as involved in dictating the game as he is in defending the lines. His high possession in the midfield and decent rate in the attacking third underline his dual-threat capability. Conclusively, it’s clear that Facundo Medina is a mighty presence in Lens' defensive arsenal, peerless in ball recovery, highly progressive, and creating chances like no other defender. However, his level of finesse in ball retention and accuracy, alongside the discipline of dialling back his aggression, will augment his evolution into an even more formidable center back.
