John Stones Scout Report

In our latest scout report, we cast our professional gaze upon John Stones, the adaptable Manchester City centre back who also comfortably plays as a defensive and central midfielder. The England international's player stats draw an interesting profile of his style of play. With Manchester City this season, he has been consistently excellent when it comes to aerial duels - rarely is there a player in the Premier League who outperforms him in this area. His pass accuracy also ranks impressively high, showing his composure and precise distribution. Surprisingly for a defender, Stones has an undeniable goal threat, standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the league's more attacking players in goal efficiency. However, the report also brings into focus certain areas of his game that need work. His ball recovery and duel win percentages present a concern - these are key metrics for a defender, and in these he ranks significantly lower than his peers. Additionally, his rate of fouls committed and yellow cards are further red flags, hinting at a possible defensive recklessness that must be curbed. Stones' possession area metrics show that he sees most of his action in the midfield third, yet his progressive passing doesn't quite match the expectation for a player involved so centrally. His ability as a progressive carrier of the ball stands out, elevating his role beyond a conventional bricks-and-mortar centre back. Overall, John Stones presents an interesting blend of defensive skill and attacking intent, showcasing his versatility. However, his low ball recovery and duel win percentages underscore the importance of maintaining defensive grit. Stay tuned for more insightful analysis on player stats across the globe.
