Rodrigo Muniz, the 22-year-old Brazilian striker of Fulham FC displays a uniquely offensive style of play during the 2023-2024 Premier League season. Despite being in possession less often, indicated by his low ball recovery, retention, and progressive carrying abilities, Muniz still demonstrates an impressive chance creation and goal threat, signalling a direct attack approach. His shot frequency stands out among the highest, further underscoring his threat in front of goal. However, this aggressiveness may come at the cost of pass accuracy, where he falls short.
Interestingly, Muniz, unconventional for a striker, also shows above-average proficiency in penalty area defending. This defensive strength, in tandem with his admirable win rate in aerial duels, could enhance his value during set-pieces, both defensively and offensively. A well-rounded goal efficiency further enhances his overall threat upfront.
Nonetheless, the young striker may still need to work on improving his ball retention and one vs one defending to truly excel at the highest level. His lower percentile in progressive passing may also limit his contribution to build-up play and thus could be an area for development. Despite some areas requiring improvement, his current attributes suggest a high-potential player with promising offensive capabilities.
