Michal Sadílek Scout Report

In this scout report, we zoom in on Michal Sadílek, a 25-year-old defensive midfielder pulling the strings for FC Twente in the Eredivisie. True to his post, he tends to operate in the midfield third, but he's no stranger to the attacking or defensive parts of the pitch. His technical ability and tenacity can be seen in his strong showing in ball recovery and retention, which are both comfortably above the 60% mark. Commanding possession, he successfully translates this to a decent level of chance creation. However, his goal threat and goals-per-90 are lagging behind his peers, at only 16% and 24.32% respectively, painting the picture of a player better at setting the scene than finishing it. Despite his significant touches on the ball, his direct attacking contribution is somewhat limited with his penchant for progressive carrying and passing sitting just above the 50% threshold. Still, Sadílek's xA per 90 portrays him as an unsung playmaker, with his score in the upper quartile. His low successful dribbles per 90 score signifies he relies more on vision and passing than on beating men. In terms of physicality, his aerial duels win percentage is pretty solid, contributing to his defensive capabilities, but his overall duel win percentage and recoveries fall just below average. Equally, he's no saint on the pitch - his yellow cards percentage sits slightly above average, showing a tendency for aggressive intervention. In all, Sadílek is a diligent defensive midfielder, strong in ball recovery and retention, a reliable presence in the build-up play but with a minimal goal threat, and has a somewhat aggressive style of play. His stats perhaps suggest a role better suited as a supporting protagonist than the headline act in the goal-scoring department.
