Sven Michel Scout Report

At 34, Sven Michel may be in the twilight of his career, but his playing style remains a study in effective utility for Paderborn in the 2. Bundesliga. Known as a versatile attacking option—capable of playing as a striker or lurking in the attacking midfield—Michel possesses a keen ability to create chances, standing out in the upper echelons for assists and expected assists per 90 minutes. However, his scoring prowess has somewhat dulled, with his goal efficiency trailing behind other strikers in the league. Intriguingly, despite a middle-ground performance in terms of goals per 90, his shooting frequency is remarkably high, indicating a player who’s not shy to test the keeper—perhaps even too readily. His approach to ball retention and pass accuracy reveals a less meticulous edge, suggesting a potential area for refinement; however, his tendency to be involved in plays, as evident with a high percentile for touches, counterbalances such drawbacks by allowing more frequent involvement in offensive phases. Michel's aptitude with the ball at his feet, supported by strong marks in progressive carrying and passing, signals a forward who's more comfortable dropping deep to orchestrate play—a trait particularly valuable given his mastery in the art of dribbling past opponents. For a striker of his age, his scout report remains a testament to his enduring influence on the pitch, driven by a consistent penchant for creating opportunities rather than always finishing them.
