Simon Asta is a versatile right midfielder/right-back who struggles to make a significant impact in his role, as reflected in his Sofascore rating, placing him in the bottom 43% of his positional peers. While he contributes with a couple of goals and assists, his defensive metrics, particularly in duels and tackles, leave much to be desired. Additionally, his injury history raises concerns about reliability, having missed a substantial number of games over the past three seasons.
Availability: 25 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
