In this scout report of Maximilian Eggestein, we have a player whose performances in the 2023/2024 Bundesliga season seem to capture the quintessence of a modern Central Midfielder. At 27, Eggestein has solidified his style of play to be one of control and progression. His high ball recovery and retention percentages (79% and 70% respectively) attest to his imposing presence on the field and ability to win back possession, which are key characteristics of his game.
However, it's his progressive passing that shines through and takes center stage among his player stats, an area where he excels, outperforming about 87% of his fellow league midfielders. Eggestein's critical role in transitioning from defense to attack is reflected in these numbers, making him a crucial piece of the team's tactical framework.
That being said though, his low goal efficiency and relatively fewer assists per 90 (ranked just over 8% and 16% among his peers respectively) indicate an area He could improve upon. In a team like SC Freiburg where he sees a significant proportion of possession in the midfield third, bolstering his goal contribution could see him rise to be one of the finest in his role.
Overall, despite a style marked by low goal and assist numbers, Eggestein's immense contributions to ball recovery, progression and possession shape him as an essential figure on the pitch, bringing finesse and stability to his team in the hustle and bustle of the Bundesliga.
