Playing Style Analysis
Targett operates as a specialized offensive outlet masquerading as a Championship fullback, functioning more as a progressive hub than a traditional defensive anchor. While his 82.8% pass accuracy suggests safety, the real story lies in his 8.48 passes into the final third per 90, placing him in the elite bracket of Tier C distributors. He is a statistical anomaly in front of goal; his 1.29 shots per 90 rank him in the top 5% of all league defenders, proving he isn’t just overlapping, but actively hunting for finishing opportunities.
