Florinel Coman Scout report


 Date of birth: 10 April 1998

Country: Romania

Position: LW

Height: 182cm

Preferred foot: Right

Club: FCSB


There is something majestic about watching a creative winger with the ball at his feet. The excitement on every fan waiting for something to happen is hard to replicate. And with Florinel Coman the excitement never seems to run out.

Starting 31 of the 34 league games he appeared in this season, Coman notched up an impressive 18 goals and 10 assists and made a fantastic 15 team of the week appearances. A complete modern winger with high pressing, dribbling, pace and the ability to cut inside and create for himself and team mates, he can walk into majority of teams across Europe.

There is a lot to like about Coman's game. When we look at his attacking stats they jump out at you. Taking 3.5 shots per game with 2.0 being on target and posting up a very respectable 15% goal conversion rate he fits the bill for teams looking to play attacking football. The majority of his goals are inside the box with 13 and 5 outside of the box. His goals are a mix of having the ball at his feet and taking a pop or using his blistering pace to run on to a through ball and slot it past the keeper. 4 of his 5 goals from outside the box came from free kicks. His free kicks are something he has practiced ever since he was a kid.

When it comes to passing he is a very effective player. Averaging 2.1 key passes per game and 21.4 passes per game at a 76% accuracy rate, his passes are mostly short but he has it all averaging over 1.0 long balls, crosses and chipped passes per game. His chipped passes are a thing of beauty, often dinking it over the defender to a forward running on to it, they instantly create a chance for his team. But it's not just his passing, his dribbling is a key skill. Averaging 2.5 dribbles per game at a success rate of 56%, he is a nightmare for defenders matched up with him. Coman often beats his man and sends in a cross or pass into the box for his attackers. As mentioned earlier his high pressing is effective, winning 6.5 duals per game, 5.0 on the ground and 1.0 in the air. Rarely offside, only being offside 0.1 per game his attacking position is something very underrated. He is also fouled 2.6 times per game which is a bonus for teams looking to counter.

Coman is a very good player who has been getting better each season, however there is a big problem when it comes to his game. Despite only fouling 0.9 times per game he has picked up 7 yellow cards and 2 reds, showing a discipline problem that could be an issue for teams competing for trophies. 

Ideal Club:

I am surprised Coman has stayed in Romania this long to be honest, an attacking minded forward putting up great stats is something most teams salivate over. But Coman's time in his homeland looks to be coming to an end with a move to Qatari side Al-Duhail looking very likely. An interesting move that could raise some eyebrows, but there has been a recent trend of players moving to Qatar hoping to develop whilst picking up big money before making the move back to Europe. Ideally I would love to see Coman make the move to a European side or Japanese side where his attacking skillset would be utalized to full effect, however keep an eye on Coman in the coming years should he make the move to Qatar with a return to Europe likely.

Ronnie Edwards Scout Report

Image
  Date of birth: 28 March 2003 Country: England Position: Central Defender/ Central Defensive Midfield Height: 180cm Preferred foot: Right Club: Peterborough United When you look at a modern central defender there is usually one of two play styles he has adopted. Either the traditional centre back who puts his foot through the ball up the park and dives into tackles but cannot play from the back, or the more modern player who is comfortable with the ball at his feet often at the expense of some of the more standard defensive skill set. Ronnie Edwards however is a very rare breed of player as he is the definition of modern meets classic. Ronnie Edwards has been a first team regular at Peterborough since joining from Barnet's under 18 squad in 2020. He has quickly became a fans favourite, also winning 4 club awards at the end of the 2021/22 season and he has only gone from strength to strength since with a call up to Englands under 20 squad for the world cup in 2023 starting all 4 ga...

  Date of birth: 16 May 2002 Country: Sweden Position: Lw Height: 178cm Preferred foot: Right Club: Malmo FF The Swedish Allsvenkan is always a gold mine for scouts and clubs alike looking for young talent playing big minutes in a competitive standing and Sebastian Nanasi has been a standout for the past few seasons with his potential and ability alike on the up and up.  In the 2023 season, Nanasi notched up 2,495 minutes across 20 games notching up 11 goals and 7 assists. Already this season he has appeared in 12 games, starting all and adding 5 goals and 7 assists already, as well as finding himself in the team of the week 8 times.  5 goals is very impressive when you take a look at the stats, averaging 2.3 shots and 0.9 hitting the target. Majority of his shot's come from his fantastic agility, often beating his man and cutting inside and firing at the goal. A goal conversion of 19% is fantastic giving he is often on the wing. All of his goals this season have been fro...

Kota Takai Scout Report

Image
  Date of birth: 4 September 2004 Country: Japan Position: Central Defender Height: 192cm Preferred foot: Right Club: Kawasaki Frontale It has been a great season for Kota Takai, really starting to make himself one of the first names on the Kwasaki Frontale team sheet. Starting 13 games out of his 14 appearances last season, he has already surpassed that, with 21 appearances currently. Kawasaki haven't been able to achieve their dominance this season like previous years, but with Kota Takai becoming another one of their growing academy graduates, the season hasn't been a total bust. The modern centre back needs to be a ball playing defender who can be comfortable on the ball as well as putting in the tackles. With 42 passes per game at a great 88% accuracy rate, including 2.1 long balls per game Kota can handle the ball at his feet. Even when under pressure he rarely panics and makes the best decision, even if it is to simply hook it clear.  One thing that stands out when watc...
