Take a look at WhoScored. It's quite revealing
Ovie played in about six positions but was stand-out when played high central as AM
His overall score, including often playing wide (Deffo not his favourite) was 7.17 making
him 20th in the league. Swift was 7.22 in 14th
Swift is 2.5 years older and got to play in his preferred position almost all
the time, and takes the majority of free kicks. The goals he gets from these (?/6) from
10% more on field minutes, clearly helps his score.
But check Ejaria's score when in his preferred position 7.29 compared
with 6.61 in his least-favoured position. All 3 of his goals came from being
played central and 2 of his 5 assists.
That 7.29 rating is good enough for 6th best player in the league, 5th for players
still in this league. And in an inconsistent, underperforming side
What's the betting if we lose him, he goes somewhere, plays high central and becomes a star?
This (below) is fine company indeed. and he is still young/relatively inexperienced
