Zian Flemming Scout Report

Zian Flemming, the 25-year-old Dutch striker proves to be a standout figure at Millwall over the 2023-2024 Championship season. While his role as an attacker is traditionally centered around goal threat, Flemming demonstrates an unorthodox yet highly effective style. Blessed with the astoundingly unique skill of being the league's top in ball recovery - an exceptional trait for a striker – it is apparent that his defensive contribution is viewed as exemplary among peers. His ball retention lies comfortably above the average, presenting him as a reliable player in possession, while his chance creation and goal efficiency present solid figures, ranking above the 57th and 60th percentiles respectively. However, an area of concern for Flemming is easily spotted in his surprisingly low goal threat percentile. As a striker, it's nearly contradictory for his goal threat to sit below the 4th percentile, making this his most glaring weakness. His xG per 90 and goals per 90 lack luster as well, emphasizing his non-threat in front of the net, which is unexpected for a player in his position. On a positive note, Flemming compensates for this by showcasing fluency in progressive passing, where he soars in the 92nd percentile. This unconventional strength for a striker adds to his overall flexibility on the pitch - further confirmed by his proven competence in central midfield, attacking midfield and as a left winger. Additionally, his assists per 90 and xA per 90 metrics signal a propensity to create opportunities for others, possibly reflecting a more supportive play style compared to traditional forwards. In conclusion, Zian Flemming is a multifaceted player who, while falling short as a goal threat, brings much more to the game with his unexpected defensive prowess, reliability in possession, and commendable passing. He promises a well-rounded contribution to Millwall and potentially challenges the conventional expectations of a striker.
