Fali Candé Scout Report

In this scout report on Fali Candé, data offers a closer look at the 26-year-old Metz defender's abilities and style of play in Ligue 1's 2023-2024 season. While primarily a Center Back player, he's demonstrated his versatility on the Left Back position as well. Blessed with an uncanny ability for ball recovery, Candé thrives in the heat of the defensive battles, performing better than almost three-quarters of his positional peers in the league. He's a real battler on the pitch, often coming out on top, as seen by his impressive Duel Win percentage. This makes him a thorn in the side of any attacking player daring enough to come his way. However, one significant area of concern is his passing capability. His notably low pass accuracy and limited contributions to progressive passes paint a picture of an old-school defender who prioritizes safety over innovation. Furthermore, his low percentile for touches suggests that while he doesn't like keeping possession much, he manages to have a substantial impact on the game by creating chances and winning duels. Candé's game evidently resides predominantly in the midfield and defensive thirds, suggesting he's more comfortable holding the fortress than moving too far forward. This falls in line with his low percentages in the attacking third and progressive carrying. His areas for improvement include his inability to retain possession and the frequency of fouls committed - a trait highlighting his aggressive style of playing, which can be costly on occasion. To conclude, Fali Candé's player stats indicate a strong defensive presence with a no-frills approach, shining in recoveries and duels while lacking some sophistication in the aspect of controlled playing and progressive capabilities. His playing style, though not without its weaknesses, adds significant value to the Metz defense line.
