While playing as a striker for Monaco, he has shown he's more than capable of contributing significantly to both goal scoring and chance creation, indicated by a statistic of 75.0% in the latter category. Ben Yedder's progressive passing abilities also stand out, ranking him among the top of his cohort at an impressive 96.875%. In a game where crucial passes can make the difference between victory and defeat, his ability to progress the ball through the field is a key asset. Another commendable strength lies in his xA per 90 - a splendid 96.88%, illustrating his effectiveness in creating opportunities for his teammates. However, there's room for improvement in the ball recovery department where he is placed lowly in the 3.125% percentile.

Shots per 90 at 40.625% could increase, indicating room for more aggression upfront.
