Matheus Peixoto Scout Report

In this scout report, we will delve into Matheus Peixoto's play in the past season. Playing as a striker for Jublio Iwata in the J1 League, the Brazilian's style of play has displayed rather mixed results. Possessing considerable ball recovery skills and retention ability, Peixoto has shown himself to be no slouch, outperforming more than half of the strikers in his league in these departments. This speaks to his formidable work rate and solid fundamentals. His chance creation and assists per 90 minutes are middling, but when considering his pass accuracy per 90, these metrics fall nicely into perspective. However, it's critical to highlight Peixoto's significant weakness in being a decisive figure in the final third. Despite netting just under half the time per game on average, his goal efficiency, goal threat, and shot metrics all sit alarmingly in the bottom third. In fact, his shots on target per 90 is a mere fifth percentile. In other words, four out of five strikers in the J1 League exhibit superior goal threatening ability. This manifests as well in his xG per 90 and goal-threat -- both fall in the lowest quarter compared to his peers. Simply put, his goal-scoring abilities and threat level are not up to par. Progressive passes and carries are a particular sore spot, wherein he lags behind more than 85% and 90% of his counterparts respectively, showcasing a lack of ability to advance possession effectively. Despite showcasing promise in some areas, as it stands, Matheus Peixoto must improve his goal potency and play making attributes, key characteristics for a striker, to excel in the league. His player stats reveal a need to work on his effectiveness and contribution in the offensive half of the pitch to extract the most of his undeniable workhorse abilities.
