Myrto Uzuni's varied utility as a striker and capable winger at Granada reflects the broad demands of today's football. He is a player who is comfortable on the ball, with his top quartile rankings in ball recovery (73.9%) and retention (84.8%) underscoring his competence in maintaining possession. However, in the 2023-2024 La Liga season, it became evident that his goal efficiency (10.9%) still leaves room for improvement, while his chance creation (32.6%) was another palpable weakness, all of which suggests that he often struggles to deliver the critical end product. Nevertheless, his engagement in the attacking penalty area was evident, standing at a lofty 73.33%.
On the defensive side, while it is not a primary requirement for a player in his position, Uzuni's lackluster percentile scores on one vs one defending (28.26%) and penalty area defending (10.9%) could be potential areas of concern during games demanding high defensive commitment.
The Albanian's playstyle seems geared more towards progressing the play, showcased by his progressive carrying score (56.52%), rather than actively seeking out duels—reflected by his low duel win percentage (4.44%). Despite registering comparatively low touches (2.22%), the striker's high-ranking expected goals (xG: 73.33%) and expected assists (xA: 71.11%) suggests that Uzuni is purposeful and direct in attack when the opportunity arises, striking an engaging balance between involvement and efficiency at age 28.
