KaKa Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 He had 9 goals and 7 assists last season. Season before 7 goals and 2 assists. He's more of an emerging player really. Didn't really start games or play too many minutes prior to the last two seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I really think people with any eggs in the Paqueta basket are going to end up disappointed. It's a like that mainly exists because everyone just assumed, because he is Bruno's mate, he must be on his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will say is the whole assist thing shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Having bet on the assist market I’d say Maxi crosses a ball and it takes the slightest nick of a defender he won’t get credited with the assist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 9 goals and 7 assists last season. However, it's impossible to project how this will carry over into a different league anyway. I'm sure they'll be digging deeper into his data to get a better idea of that. However, his numbers from last season were good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does score and assist just not prolifically. He presses well, creates chances and progresses play well. Would be nice if he was quicker but yeah, good player.

Most of these guys can play either side nowadays. Really rare that a wide man will only play one side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Obviously, but we're thinking we're going to sign a guy for 30m+ who played 80% of his last 50 matches on the left side to then switch sides to the right or ask the current incumbent to do that? I get that I'm also advocating Paqueta to play there so I'm talking out of both ends here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never consider moving Maxi the opposite side and have always almost gone with someone else there. If you look at his overall career though he's played loads of games on the right too. He's played on the left a lot more recently because they had Raphinha on the right. Maxi never gets moved because we have no one worth moving him for. Maxi has been just as good on the right on the occasions he has played there though IMO. Edited July 25, 2022 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Nobody will know how to defend against them on the opposite flank, though. Element of surprise and that. (Not entirely serious, but you know.) I'd be amazed if Harrison wasn't even more effective on the right, he's pretty much two-footed and has a good shot on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
