Willian, currently playing as a Left Winger for Fulham in the Premier League, showcases a mature style of play informed by his age, 34 years. Despite his relatively lower ball recovery and goal threat aspects, which could be explained by his offensive role and the maturity of his age, he shows exceptional skill in his offensive contributions. His ball retention score is impressive, suggesting a player who can securely hold the ball and not easily dispossessed - a critical capability for a winger, whose job often entails retaining control in high-intensity opposition pressure. His slight upper hand in aerial duels and regular duel win percentage renders him a formidable player on the field. Willian's progressive passing skills are not to be overlooked, performing at an incredibly high level. However, his goal efficiency needs to be worked on, as it is quite low for an offensive player. His assisted chances and predicted assists (xA) are above average, demonstrating his ability to create goal opportunities for his team. Despite not being a very direct attacker, his touch and pass accuracy statistics suggest that he's frequently involved in gameplay. His defensive skills may not be his strength, however, his penalty area defending implies he contributes defensively when positioned correctly. Overall, Willian is an instrument of ball retention and progressive passing, providing an offensive threat through his chance creation.
