Ryan Hedges Scout Report
Ryan Hedges, the versatile right winger also capable on the left-hand side, has acquitted himself well at Blackburn Rovers in the 2023-2024 season. Despite the clearly robust competition in the Championship, the 28-year old Welshman seems to have carved out a niche with his distinctive passing ability, ranking an extraordinary 98.7 percentile amongst his peers. Combining this with a decent assist return at 93.51 percentile, Hedges evidently excels in providing attacking opportunities for his teammates. His potential as a constant goal threat (72.73 percentile) is remarkable as well, suggesting an agility to convert chances into points.
However, Hedges' game isn't without its concerns. A worrying feature is his dribbling ability, languishing at an extremely low 20.78 percentile. The frequency with which he loses possession is also alarming - ranking only in the 7.79 percentile, highlighting a significant area for improvement. Similarly, his shot frequency and progressive carrying percentiles fall substantially short of the benchmark for a player of his position and pedigree, suggesting that he may need to enhance his aggression and directness on the pitch.
Nevertheless, Hedges shows a well-rounded performance in ball retention and chance creation. All things considered, while he may not be the youngest player on the pitch, Hedges shows an exceptional ability to consistently create progressive passes and assist chances, but needs to work on his personal attacking game to truly realize his full potential.
