Michel Vlap Scout Report

Michel Vlap continues to be a pivotal asset for FC Twente, showcasing a style of play marked by remarkable ball retention and impressive passing acuity. His statistics this season reveal a player who is exemplary at keeping possession, boasting almost perfect ratings in ball retention and pass accuracy, making him indispensable in midfield exchanges. Vlap's prowess in ball recovery, pushing him near the league's summit, underscores his versatility, adept at regaining control and setting up transitions from defence to attack. His ability to craft opportunities, reflected in superb chance creation figures, signals a creative spark on the left flank. However, Michel's game isn't without its nuances. While he's efficient in generating xG, he falls slightly short in elevating his goal conversion rate, an area that somewhat diminishes his overall goal threat. His progressive carrying is noticeably below par, suggesting a reliance on passing rather than dynamic drives upfield. This reticence might explain his less-than-stellar dribbling stats, indicating room for growth in taking on defenders one-on-one. Yet, his proficiency in threading progressive passes aligns perfectly with the contour of Twente's play, providing them with a steady pipeline to unleash their attacking prowess. Overall, Vlap’s player stats affirm his role as a midfield maestro, orchestrating play with ball precision while offering solid supporting firepower from the wing.
