Mileta Rajovic, the 24-year-old Danish striker from Watford, is a classic goal poacher who stands tall in the Championship for 2023-2024 season. His heightened capacity for goal scoring is evident in his outstanding percentile ranking of 81.97% in goals per 90, accompanied by an equally impressive goal threat percentile of 84.13%. Rajovic's goal efficiency too stand in the top quartile at 76.19%.
However, the sharp duality of his game is exposed in the worrying lower percentile figures - specifically in the aspects of chance creation, where he lags behind in 12.7%, ball retention with a marginal 23.81%, and a miserly 3.17% in progressive carrying, the lowest among his peers. This reveals Rajovic's over-reliance on service from teammates and potential difficulties in lone striker systems where buildup play is essential.
His questionable contribution to the overall team play is further evidenced by his assist rate, a meager 10.66%, and a below-average pass accuracy of 45.9%. The Denmark international, despite his age, demands important tactical considerations due to his limitations.
In sum, Rajovic is a potent finisher who thrives in the six-yard box, a predator whose primary asset is punishing defenses in the ultimate third, but one whose playmaking capabilities require significant enhancement.
