So there we have Darren Bent. He has steadily improved over the last couple of seasons, and has been one of the greatest success stories in the premiership this season. A real home grown talent, Darren Bent possesses many qualitys.
Athletisicm - A great all round athlete, Darren has many athletic benifits which aid him to play as a lone striker. First and foremost, he has pace. Both top speed and acceleration of 85 mean he can give defenders the run around, and if he gets in behind the defence, its very hard for defenders to get back up with him, as we have seen in real life. Great upper body strength is another of his key factors which help him to play on his own. With a value of 84, he can sand up to defenders and his hold up play is very good. An excellent jump of 85 represents his great leap in real life. We can see how these factors help him to play as a lone striker; His pace can get him in and behind the defence, and he can both take defenders on, and latch on to through balls. His strength aids his hold up play so he can keep the ball until a correct option arises. And his leap mean he act as a target man aswell, collecting balls punted up by the defence.
Positioning - A very attacking minded player, Darren is seldom seen in his own half. With an attack of 82 and a defence of 32, he is always going to be hanging around by hmself up front. And with an aggression value of 89 he is always going to be looking to push up high when a team mate is attacking with the ball. With both the reaction and lines stars, when hanging up front, he is good playing off the shoulder of the last defender and can break the offside trap.
Shooting - One thing he has definitely improved this season has been his shooting. With a shot accuracy of 83, he is going to be dangerous in and around the box, and is good at getting shots off under pressure, as his shot technique stat of 82 shows. Finally he can pack a good punch aswell with 84 in shot power. These values accurately represent his potentcy at shooting in real life. Also heading value of 80 shows he is great in the air aswell, so that is another department in which his game has developed.
General Technique - Finally his general technique. A good value of 78 for technique represents his first touch well, given that in real life his first touch is not world class, but serves him well, and he uses his touch to gain an extra yard here or there. Better left foot than a lot of players is also another great feature of Darren Bent. A 6 for both accuracy and frequency show his willingness and ability hit accurate shots on his weaker foot.
This analysis has been a long time coming, as it was one of the first requests I recieved. Hopefully you will all find it useful now that it is finally out. Darren Bent is a great player. The good thing about him is that at the moment he has a very well rounded game. He doesnt really have any world class aspects to him, but he is only 22 so there is a lot of time in which he can develop into a truly great British striker.
