At age 32, Yago Pikachu remains a vital force in Fortaleza's forward line. He has enjoyed a successful campaign in 2024, showcasing an admirable ability to play across the right-wing, showcasing versatility to operate as a right midfielder and central midfielder as well.
Despite an average contribution to ball recovery and retention, Pikachu's specific performance metrics reveal a quintessential Brazilian forward. His threat level is significant with a goal threat percentile of 80%. His greatest strength lies in his role as a creator, with an exceptional 90% ranking in assists-per-game, demonstrating his ability to consistently deliver the final ball. He further shines in progressive passing, where he ranks at a strong 70%, him being a meticulous linker of play in the attacking third. His ranking for successful crosses per 90 is also impressive at 66.67%.
However, there are areas for improvement. His goal efficiency lags behind, sitting at just 13.33%, suggesting room for improving his composure in front of the net. This is mirrored by a poor figure in successful dribbles per game, hinting at a potential setback in one-on-one situations. His passing accuracy per 90 minutes also resides at a low 23.33% percentile, adding another dimension to his inconsistency with ball distribution. Nonetheless, his attacking contribution overshadows these deficits, making him an valuable asset in the Fortaleza frontline.
