In our latest scout report, we shine the spotlight on Nagoya Grampus' veteran forward, Patric. Despite his advanced age of 36, Patric remains a crucial player in the J1 League, known for his defensive contributions. An aberration for a striker, he tops the percentile rankings in ball recovery, showcasing his exceptional alertness and ability to regain possession. However, as a striker, Patric's role goes beyond defending - he needs to score goals and create opportunities. On these fronts, his performance leaves room for improvement. He is found lacking in the creation of chances, sitting dismally low in the percentile. Equally concerning is his progressive passing. This, along with a sparse sprinkle of assists, conveys that Patric's playmaking skills need some sharpening. Nevertheless, Patric's goal efficiency remains commendably high, indicating he can find the back of the net relatively frequently and effectively when given the chance. This, coupled with a solid progressive carrying ranking, suggests that once Patric has the ball at his feet, he is capable of driving play forward himself, challenging opponents head-on. Still, a deeper dive unveils that his actual goal output registers low with an unimpressive goals-per-game ratio, signaling a poor conversion rate. His xG (expected goals) stats are alarmingly higher than his actual goal tally - a sign of underperformance. Overall, Patric offers an unusual style of play for a forward. While his impressive ball recovery skills are an asset, his lack of creative output in the final third may hold his team back. His goal efficiency hints at potential, but only if he can harness it consistently. Patric, an enigma in the striker's role, proves that player stats can sometimes paint an intriguing, if a bit confusing, picture.
