Paulo Dybala, at the ripe age of 30, remains one of Serie A’s top performers for Roma. His game has evolved to prioritise playmaking abilities, as evidenced by his commendable percentile rankings in key metrics that define a well-rounded frontman. Known for his ability to retain possession, Dybala finds himself in the top third (67%) of his peers in ball retention. His vision is also beyond repute, recording a percentile score of 75% in chance creation along with a near-perfect assist rate per 90 minutes (98%). Moreover, he is virtually unmatched in pass accuracy as he tops the league in this category (100%).
Dybala’s impact extends beyond passing, with strong scores in both progressive carrying (85%) and ball recovery (93%) displaying a profound influence all over the pitch. His goal efficiency (71%) and expected goals (xG) per 90 (78%) suggest that when given a chance, he seldom fails to strike. However, his relatively low goal threat percentile (24%) raises eyebrows given his position as a striker. This hints at a shift towards a more playmaking role than a pure scorer. Or, it can also be viewed as an area that needs improvement to truly elevate his game to the best in the world.
His journey from Argentina, through Palermo and Juventus, to Roma has been decorated with honours and unforgettable moments. As he matures, Dybala has adapted his game to remain an integral part of his team, illustrating the intelligence and versatility that is central to his enduring success. In a nutshell, while Dybala's scoring threat may have slightly diminished, his evolution into a complete forward is truly commendable.
