In this scout report, we look at the highly talented Dutch Attacking Midfielder, Calvin Stengs. Just 25 and playing for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, Stengs displays a creative prowess that few can rival. Occupying the attacking mid, central mid and right winger roles, his chance creation ability ranks in the top 98.7 percentile among his peers. Starkly image-provoking is his progressive carrying and successful dribbling per 90 minutes; ranking him among the top relative to other league players in his position, demonstrating his ability to move and protect the ball under pressure.
Exceptionally, Stengs is a potent goal threat, with high goal efficiency and expected goals (xG) per 90 in high percentiles. His assist rate per 90 mins and expected assists (xA) resonate with his creative style of play - both metrics are soaring way above average in the league, marking his dominant offensive presence in the final third.
However, no talent is without shortfalls. His defensive contribution leaves more to be desired - interceptions and recovery rates rank worryingly low, with his aerial duel and overall duel win rates also not ticking the boxes. Coupled with his sub-par ball recovery and retention percentile, it underscores the room for growth in his defensive play.
In possession, he seems to prefer the attacking third and central areas, enhancing his chance to generate threats. Nonetheless, his touches percentile being slightly above average suggests a potential to be more involved in the game. His style of play is an amalgamation of offense and impressive creativity, with areas to improve in ball recovery and defense - a yet uncut gem in the field of football.
