Vitaly Janelt serves as a Central Midfielder for Brentford in the Premier League. His strength lies in his defensive capabilities, particularly one-on-one defending, penalty area defending, and winning duels. He's above average in the air, signaling a crucial resource for Brentford in set-piece scenarios.
However, Janelt could improve in various aspects of his game. His ball retention and recovery are lower than expected for a player in his position, suggesting that he could struggle to control the tempo of a game. His progressive carrying ability is also noticeably weak, implying that he may not be the player to look for when advancing the ball up the field under pressure. Additionally, his passing accuracy and volume of touches are relatively low, offering a potential area for development.
His goal threat and efficiency, along with his chance creation skills, are middling - not extraordinary, yet not a cause for immediate concern. He demonstrates an ability to provide assists and could have potential in the expected assists (xA) metric. At the age of 25, he could still have the capacity to enhance these dimensions of his game with further development and match experience.
