Ben Waine Scout Report

At just 22, New Zealand native Ben Waine is carving out a name for himself in the Championship as a prolific striker for Plymouth Argyle, despite his tryst with some key areas for improvement. His most striking attribute, without doubt, is the raw goal threat he poses, sitting comfortably in the 95th percentile when compared to his peers. He is always at the right place, at the right time, ready to pounce and raise havoc for the opposing defence. However, while he thrives in creating nightmarish scenarios for defenders, his performance in other crucial areas raises eyebrows. His ability to retain possession and recover the ball are disappointingly low, lurking around the 25th and 6th percentile respectively. His goal efficiency also falls into just around 6th percentile, indicating a need for better finishing skills despite his commendable threat in front of goal. His pass accuracy per 90, residing at a meagre 4.92 percentile, further punctuates his low proficiency in retaining and distributing the ball. Waine, though, seems to have an impressive expected Goals (xG) and Shots per 90, scoring 78.69% and 62.3% respectively, underlining his instinctive nature as a striker. His young age can be seen as a testament to his potential for improvement, particularly in areas where he's currently found lacking. All in all, for Ben Waine, there's promise, but also, plentiful room to grow.
