Ruben Vargas Scout Report

Ruben Vargas is undoubtedly a player that shows plenty of promise in our scout report. An attacking midfielder primarily, versatile in role, Vargas displays a mature, aggressive, attacking style of play given his 31 matches in Bundesliga for FC Augsburg in the 2023-24 season. His most impressive player stats come in the form of goal threat, chance creation, and progressive carrying areas, placing high in the upper third percentile ranks in the league. His potential on the offence is emphasised by strong figures in the goals per 90, shots and assists per 90, and xG and xA per 90 ranks. Nonetheless, the Swiss international's weaknesses lie in some key areas - ball retention, an area where his ranking is critically low, indicating a serious area for improvement if he's to take his game to the next level. His touch percentile also shows he might not be as involved in the game as top midfielders, suggesting a less direct approach would improve his overall performance. His defensive side lacks precision too with poor duel win percentage and a relatively high percentage of fouls committed, highlighting the need for enhanced discipline on the field. His player activity shows us that he is most active in the attacking third, suggesting that despite his shortcomings, Vargas has a great future as an attacking threat. His superior goal efficiency and successful dribbles complement this aspect of his style of play, making him a consistent threat to any defence. If Vargas can improve on his weaknesses while leveraging his strengths, he can be a dominant force in Bundesliga.
