In this scout report, we analyze Pape Gueye's stats from the 2023-2024 season. Operating primarily out of the heart of Marseille's midfield, the Senegalese international has also shown capability in a more defensive role. Notably, Gueye's style of play is characterized by some remarkable strengths, yet also marked with certain weaknesses.
In goal efficiency and progressive passing, he ranks impressively high. This signals an ability for decisive action in attack and ball delivery, a quality rare among central and defensive midfielders. Gueye's contributions to interceptions are equally admirable, revealing a natural instinct in breaking up opposition plays, alongside a competitive edge in both ground and aerial duels, asserting physical dominance on combative occasions.
He's often found conducting the orchestra from the midfield third and stands out for being in high possession. This readiness to take charge fosters opportunities for goal threats and assists. His tendency to commit fouls, however, sits alarmingly high, a habit posing considerable risk in critical game moments.
Less flattering are Gueye's stats regarding chance creation, ball retention, and successful dribbles. These figures suggest a struggle to maintain control under pressure and a need for improvement in conjuring goal-scoring opportunities.
Gueye's most striking weakness lies in his comparatively low presence in the attacking third and penalty area, thus calling into question his offensive contribution. Nonetheless, his midfield authority and defensive acuity, coupled with impressive goal efficiency, underscore Gueye as a player of formidable potential if some of the weaknesses could be ironed out. A keen eye on his discipline might also alleviate unnecessary jeopardy in competitive scenarios.
