Philipp Hofmann Scout Report

In this scout report on Philipp Hofmann, his playing style paints a picture of a gritty striker who thrives in disruptive environments but struggles to make a significant impact in front of goal. At 31, the Bochum forward exhibits a commendable ability to win back possession, ranking impressively high among his peers in ball recovery. This suggests he's pivotal in stopping opposition momentum and initiating moves from advanced positions. However, Hofmann's influence wanes when it comes to maintaining possession and precision passing, reflected in his low ball retention and pass accuracy. His significant number of touches indicates he's frequently involved in play, yet he lacks the sharpness in goal threat and efficiency, ranking notably low in goal-centric metrics such as goal efficiency, shots, and xG per 90. Despite decent progressive passing numbers, Hofmann's ability to carry the ball forward is limited, signalling a dependency on teammates to progress play. His moderate performance in chance creation and assists suggests a nuanced skill set, with moments of creativity, albeit not consistently impactful. Overall, Hofmann is a striker whose value lies more in his defensive contributions and involvement in transitional play than in traditional scoring prowess.
