Via Sqwaka (Opta):
- I ran this with Stones in one instance and also with Upamecano, but posted the latter given that Stones played sporadically last season and figure some may be curious about Upamenco. However, Stones' long pass completion % was BY FAR the best, was also #1 in pass completion % as well as interestingly BY FAR the best at ground duels, almost a 10% better rate than VVD.
We don't get the numbers for "mistakes" or "mistakes that led to goal" as an option.
- Compared to the others
he's by far the best at "Take-Ons"
so his dribbling/on-the-ball skills are high for a CB (Stones is most comparable at successful take-ons).
Besides being comparable to the rest in terms of Arial Duel success, and better than Koulibaly,
you can add a strength of Kounde is the rate in which he challenges in the air to be quite high, 2nd to VVD.
Those stats as well as others indicate a player with high levels of bravery who believes he can win despite his size. This is also supported by being 2nd in clearances behind VVD and quite a bit higher than Koulibaly and Laporte.
He was significantly better at crossing than the rest and with some frequency. Koulibaly's rate is higher, but you can see it happens fairly rarely.
His Long Pass rate was something you may worry about, but based on what I've seen he is capable and his ground passing and vision is still good. He was far more successful at Long Passes in Europa League than in La Liga, if that means anything.
You can also see that
whilst aggressive and brave, for some reason he does not appear to give away fouls when tackling.
He was the worst at Lost Possession (tied with Upamecano), but I can
see how given his aggressive style of play with the ball this might happen more frequently and inexperience (possibly).
YES stats do not tell the entire story as there are other variables not accounted for as well as potential and improvement which they cannot measure, but worth taking a peek.
