Justin Lonwijk Scout Report
Justin Lonwijk is a versatile Dutch midfielder who commands a prominent role at Fortuna Sittard. Deployed with preference as a central midfielder, he also thrives on the right flank. While his ball recovery and retention ability land him in the lower third of his Eredivisie peers, Lonwijk excels in offensive activities. He boasts remarkable goal threat and efficiency, placing in the top fifth amongst his counterparts.
However, his low ball retention is a considerable weakness, ranking alarmingly in the lower 3% among his peers, indicating frequent losses of possession. He also slips in progressive passing, hinting at an inability to create forward play and push his team into attacking positions. Similarly, his low percentage of touches indicates a deficiency in controlling the play and maintaining possession, reducing his opportunities for shots and assists.
Lonwijk compensates with his offensive prowess. The standout facets of his play are goals scored and shots taken per 90 minutes, with staggering values of around 84% and 86% respectively, highlighting his direct approach in attack. He's also no slouch in assisting others, with a satisfactory 76% assists per 90 minutes.
An engaging part of Lonwijk's game is his notable aerial prowess, a strength he commands with a handsome win percentage. However, his commendable interceptions, signaling a high defensive intelligence, are slightly overshadowed by the worryingly high number of fouls committed and yellow cards accumulated, implying a possible problem with discipline.
Lonwijk's style of play tends to focus the ball in the attacking third or the midfield. While his direct attacking contributions are impressive, an enhancement of ball retention and control could elevate his overall output, promising a bright future for this young talent.
