The seasoned veteran, Sven Michel, currently situates himself in the Bundesliga as a stride-for-stride comparison puts him in the upper tiers in goal efficiency (62%) while his xG settles at a considerably promising 79.16%. Despite his age, his scoring instincts continue to thrive within FC Augsburg's attacking setup. The striker's presence is primarily felt within the attacking third and penalty areas where he records 77.0833% touches showing his keen positioning and attacking anticipation.
However, Sven is no poster boy for perfect ball handling. His ball retention falls worryingly low at around 14%, leading him to be easily dispossessed, hindering both his individual and team progression. Aerial duels and overall duel win % are lackluster as well, exposing his limitations in physical confrontations and direct challenges.
Sven appears to sit back during his team's build-up play, revealed by his lower touch percentile in the midfield third. Nevertheless, his relative involvement in the defensive third with 43.75% of touches suggests he isn't averse to stepping backward in a collective defensive effort, although his proficiency in one vs one and penalty area defending are middling at best.
Despite these limitations, it's clear Sven Michel remains a valued asset for FC Augsburg, largely due to his well-honed goal scoring instincts and his continual positioning within dangerous zones in the final third. His influence and productivity in the attacking third remain potent, even as he navigates the challenges associated with his advancing years.
