Valentin Eysseric Scout Report
In this scout report, our spotlight falls on Valentin Eysseric, the French attacking midfielder plying his trade for Fatih Karagumruk in the Süper Lig. Even at 32, Eysseric's style of play is distinguished by his ability to stand as a formidable force in offence. His staggering creative prowess is reflected in the top 5% of his peers, with an uncanny ability to manufacture opportunities for his team. His high percentile rankings in chance creation, goal threat, assists, and expected assists per 90 minutes reflect his stellar contribution to scoring and setting up goals. Simultaneously, his goals per 90 and xG per 90 figures suggest a substantial threat in front of the goal, explaining why opposition defenders would be justified in fearing him.
However, Eysseric's game isn't without its weaknesses. His defensive contributions, as shown by his percentile in ball recovery, interceptions, and recoveries, resonate weak bars in the otherwise splendid music of his play. His lack of ball retention skills and subpar pass accuracy further amplify these gaps. Aerially, Eysseric might not be the player to bet your money on, considering his low percentile in aerial duels. His discipline can also be called into question, signified by a rather alarming yellow card tally.
Despite the shortcomings, Eysseric's goal efficiency and the ability to progress the game, both through intricate passing and effective carrying, remain his standout attributes. His shot creation, successful dribbles and duel win percentage are all comfortably above average, contributing to a dangerous attacking package. All in all, Valentin Eysseric could be an asset to any team craving a burst of creativity, but perhaps is better suited to teams with a robust defence to compensate for his relative deficiencies.
