Make Shiogai's card →Build XI with shortlist →Share cards ↓Shiogai is a statistical anomaly disguised as a Tier-C squad player, combining the raw physical dominance of a traditional target man with the lethal efficiency of an elite poacher. While his 14.2 passes per 90 indicate a peripheral role in build-up, the impact he makes when the ball arrives is staggering; he ranks in the top 5% for duel win rate and the top 10% for aerial success, essentially bullying Bundesliga defenders into submission. The counterintuitive insight lies in his 1.74 goals per 90; despite playing for a struggling side, his shot volume and conversion suggest his output isn't a fluke of service, but a result of sheer individual force.
