Playing Style Profiles
Riis is a physical outlier in the Championship, a high-volume shot monster who exists on the fringes of play only to explode into the final third with direct, vertical intent. While his 59.8% pass accuracy suggests a lack of technical refinement, this number is a red herring; it reflects a player tasked with high-risk ball progression rather than a lack of quality, evidenced by his above-average rate of passes into the final third.
A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.6 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.56 goals/90), strong in aerial duels (3.3 aerials won/90) and top 10% scorer in the league.
