Joren Dom Scout Report
In this scout report for the Pro League A, we delve into the player stats of Joren Dom, OH Leuven's central midfielder with notable versatility, spanning from Centre Back to an Attacking Midfielder. At 34, Dom's experience stands out, and his style of play predominantly focuses on goal threats, with a percentile ranking that dances in the highest echelons, at around 79%. Given his remarkable aerial duels' win rate, the highest of his stats, it's clear Dom is a dominant force in the air.
On the flip side, his broad set of skills seems to sacrifice his efficiency in ball retention and chance creation, where his performance skews towards an alarmingly low percentile. This implies his style of play has more emphasis on an end-product than build-up play. Surprisingly though, despite his weak ball retention, Dom maintains a promising shot rate, hinting at his direct attacking attributes.
Dom's heatmap would show most of his contributions in the midfield third and defensive third. Despite a relatively low presence in the attacking penalty area, his menacing goal threat reiterates his capacity to strike fear deep in opponents' defenses.
However, there are areas to work on. Dom's stats for progressive carrying and passing are less than impressive and become more critical when considering ball recovery and recoveries, which all hover in the lower end of the spectrum. Improvement in these areas would elevate Dom's overall game, producing a more complete player. Still, all things considered, Joren Dom remains an intimidating force in the Pro League A that shouldn't be underestimated.
