Wissam Ben Yedder, now in the mature phase of his career at 33, continues to demonstrate an uncanny knack for goal efficiency and threat, ranking in the 96.875% and 71.875% percentiles among his Ligue 1 peers, respectively. 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. His retention skills, ranking at 40.625%, suggest a potential weakness in maintaining possession in tight situations. Shots per 90 at 40.625% could increase, indicating room for more aggression upfront. At 33, the former Sevilla hitman has shown remarkable consistency in his performance, and despite certain flaws, his prolific goal-scoring ability and exceptional progressive playmaking skills underline his importance at Monaco.
