Nuno Santos Scout Report
Nuno Santos, the Portugal-born veteran, continues to be a key asset for Sporting CP, demonstrating a consistently high level of performance throughout the Primeira Liga's 2023-2024 season. One cannot overlook his exceptional creative output, as his ability to contribute crucial assists and maintain superior pass accuracy both stand out at an impressive percentile ranking of 94.44%. Even in the thick of the game, Santos rarely falters, with an excellent ball retention of 81.82% and an impressive chance creation percentage of 76%.
Notably, Santos shines when navigating towards the opponents’ goal, surprising adversaries with a successful crossing percentile of a nearly unbeatable 98.15%, a testament to his cross precision and vision. However, he seems to struggle when it comes to progressive carrying, seen in its considerably low percentile of 21.82%.
His goal threat and efficiency remain above average, securing places in the mid-fifties. He also barely ever loses possession of the ball, with a dispossessed stat of just 5.56%. However, despite his stellar record in many other aspects of the game, we cannot ignore a significant weakness; his successful dribbles per 90 percentile comes in at a low of 16.67%, suggesting a need to enhance his one-on-one gameplay. In conclusion, Santos's consistent high-level performance makes him an undeniably valuable player, although certain areas may benefit from targeted improvement.
