Playing Style Analysis

Target Man

Osako, a forward who can win a surprising number of aerial duels, is more than just a target man. While his 0.34 goals per 90 minutes is above average in the J-League, and he gets into decent shooting positions (top 30% for shots), his value lies in his ability to unlock defenses, ranking in the top 20% for key passes. Don't let the mediocre 68.3% pass accuracy fool you; he's a progressive passer, threading the needle into the final third at a rate that puts him in the league's top 5%.
