Moi Gómez, the versatile 29-year-old Spaniard from Osasuna, has built a commendable profile with his adaptability across the midfield and into the left wing, commanding a firm presence in the La Liga. Interestingly, despite not being the most aggressive ball retriever or retainer - falling short of halfway in those departments - Gómez still manages to stand out as a goal threat thanks to his superb goal efficiency, outperforming the majority of his peers in the central midfield. He shines when it comes to creating chances and progressive passing. Yet, his passing accuracy per 90 could use some work to match his offensive prowess.
His aerial duels present room for improvement, less than sterling by La Liga measures which is quite a limitation in physical confrontations. His lacklustre interception rate, ranking in the bottom quarter, possibly hinders his team's counter-attacking opportunities - an area to improve upon.
Gómez spends most of his time operating in the midfield third, with less involvement in the defensive third, aligning with his primary roles as a central and attacking midfielder. His minimal presence in both penalty areas reflects a player who's a creator rather than a finisher. Prominently, his high goal efficiency coupled with lesser possession implies that when Gómez does get forward, he's fairly lethal.
Overall, Gómez stands as a gifted all-rounder capable of both orchestrating and enhancing the attacks, while his defensive contribution may require more attention. His fine balance of creativity and goal scoring ability will continue to serve him - and indeed, Osasuna - well in the seasons to come.
