A noteworthy figure in the Championship, Chris Willock exhibits undeniable proficiency in ball recovery and retention, with his numbers landing him in the top-notch 87th and 92nd percentiles, respectively. There is also an evident brilliance in his dribbling as he persistently penetrates defences, sitting comfortably at the 86th percentile. Moreover, his productivity in ball progression - both through carrying and passing - is of considerable merit, standing above more than half of his peers. However, his consequent chance creation appears to slightly dim in comparison, at the 32nd percentile, which alongside his goal threat, hovering at an underwhelming 18th percentile, encases his major weaknesses. These shortcomings indicate a need for him to hone his finishing skills and his ability to convert potential goal opportunities more consistently. Despite that, there's a fair bit of assurance from his passes, cross and assist metrics, suggesting a strong ability to link-up play and create opportunities, although he does run a risk of losing possession, as indicated by the high dispossessed per 90 (83.12) percentile. At the age of 26, Willock is not young, but not old, it piques curiosity on whether he can further magnify his strengths - while gradually chipping away at his weaknesses - or if his growth curve has hit its steepest point.
