Adam Armstrong Scout Report

Adam Armstrong is a relentless force up front for Championship side, Southampton. A highly versatile player, he's adept at slotting in various positions across the pitch, primarily as a striker, but equally capable as a central or attacking midfielder, or on either wing. Armstrong’s central quality lies in his creativity and contribution to the overall team dynamics. He ranks exceptionally high in ‘chance creation’ at 95 percentile, demonstrating his ability to weave opportunities out of thin air. An exceptional trait of his is his ball recovery (87 percentile), a somewhat unusual attribute for a player majorly operating in the frontlines - a testament to his defensive capabilities. His ball retention and progressive carrying both stand at around the 78th percentile, underlining his ability to not only secure possession but also drive the team forward effectively. Despite his striking number of assists, which fall in the staggering 96 percentile, Armstrong only ranks at the 16th percentile for goal efficiency - an alarming disparity. This indicates Armstrong’s struggle in finishing despite his otherwise impressive forward abilities. It's a glaring weakness in the 27-year-old’s game that might be hindering his potential to fully exploit damaging situations. Pass accuracy and shots per 90 are both in the 93 percentile, and his 'expected assists per 90' (xA per 90) is remarkably in the 100th percentile, toiling magical threads for his teammates to run onto. He exhibits a similar statistical strength for expected goals per 90 (xG per 90), falling into the high 85 percentile. Armstrong’s stats suggest he can grow to become an exemplary forward and a formidable asset for any team. Despite his age, his relatively underexplored potential is one to behold. It is, however, crucial for Armstrong to refine his goal efficiency and perhaps adapt his game to become more ruthless in front of goal.
