Scout report on versatile midfielder, Moussa Sissoko, suggests a mixed bag performance for the Nantes star in the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season. At the heart of Sissoko's style of play is his capacity to be a goal threat with a high percentile in this area. His extraordinary ability to drive forward with the ball is reflected in his Progressive Carrying standing, landing amongst the top 20% of his peers. However, one can't overlook his poor ball retention skills which lasc left much to be desired.
Sissoko, as an attacking and defensive midfielder, finds himself mostly in the midfield third. He has shown prowess in the final third but retreats fairly often to the defensive third—demonstrating his willingness to aid the defensive line. Player stats show that his accuracy in passing, assists, and shot-taking abilities are lacking, marred by low percentile rankings. This inconsistency compounds midfield woes, with the Frenchman losing duels more often than he wins.

Despite these shortcomings, the 34-year-old veteran's possession activity in the attacking and midfield thirds speaks to his offensive inclinations. Sissoko, while falling short in some areas, could be termed as a player who is attack-oriented, rather direct in his planning and relentless in his play style.
