In our latest "scout report", we've focused on Brighton's Brazilian center back, Igor. At 26 years old, Igor stands out for his role in ball retention where he ranks impressively in the upper echelon of Premier League defenders. His pass accuracy is a commendable 94%, a testament to his knack for maintaining possession and distributing the ball effectively. A quick look at his player stats and style of play indicates that while he isn't a consistent goal threat or an assist producer, he does contribute to Brighton's chance creation and forwards the ball aggressively, with percentile scores well above average for progressive carrying and passing. Despite possessing notable strengths, flaws in Igor's game cannot be overlooked. He has a markedly lower success rate in wining duels and his interceptions' stats which hints at potential issues in tackling prowess and anticipation. Caution is attached to his playing style too, with a propensity to give away fouls and accumulate yellow cards. What's interesting about Igor is that despite his position, he sees much of the ball in the midfield third, indicating a modern, proactive approach to his defensive duties. However, his involvement in the attacking third is minimal, further underscoring his primary role as a dependable, possession-oriented defender. All things considered, Igor seems a reliable choice at the back, but he will need to work on his defensive shortcomings to elevate his status in the Premier League.
