Bruma Scout Report
Bruma, a Portuguese left-winger, has established himself as a pivotal figure in Braga's squad this season. He is a veritable threat to opposition defenses, ranking in the top 15th percentile for Goal Threat, Progressive Carrying, and Chance Creation at an astonishing 87.3%, 81.8%, and 81.8%, respectively. Moreover, the 29-year-old's superior ball retention ability, highlighted by an impressive percentile of 89.1%, ensures he is a consistent performer for the Primeira Liga side. He is also a clinical distributor of the ball with his pass accuracy standing at 85.19 per 90 minutes, demonstrating his influence during build-up play.
However, not all facets of his game are equally splendid. Despite his proficiency in carrying the ball and creating chances, his Goal Efficiency leaves much to be desired, with a lowly percentile of 27.3%, and his Assist per 90 metric at 40.74% reveals his struggles with the final delivery. Another conspicuous weakness lies in his crossing ability, with a disappointing percentile of 3.7% per 90 minutes, along with being dispossessed at a worryingly high rate of 90.74% per 90 minutes. However, it’s important to underline his impressive dribbling ability, which stands as one of his key strengths with a monumental 96.3% success rate per 90 minutes. At the age of 29, Bruma combines experience with significant technical prowess, although aspects requiring improvement have been highlighted.
