Position: Central Midfielder - Feyenoord plays on a 4-3-3 system, with 3 mobile midfielders. Leroy Fer plays his part in this area of the field.

Potential (0-10): 9 - His potential is rare and quite obvious, combining physical and technical attributes that are not easy to find in players of his age. Leroy Fer has every condition to be capable of playing in any team in the world. This, of course, is still not the case and Fer still has to develop in some areas of his game to reach such high level.

Physical description: Tall (1,88m), slim player. He’s also fast and very agile, having all the requisites to become very strong in physical challenges. That is still not the case as he still needs to learn body placement needs to be improved.

Technical description: Prefers the right foot and has a very good technique. His control and passing are consistent and he’s also a very good dribbler, using this skill often in transition situations.

Tactical description: If physically and technically Fer has full potential to become a top player, he needs to improve his tactical game to really become one. He’s a very reactive player in transition moments of the game, both defensive and offensive, and gives good support and fair quality to possession in more organized play. Also to mention is his very good working attitude. Defensively, he needs to work on his positioning, anticipating more to run less. In this area, it’s also important that he becomes, physically, a more dominant player. To achieve this, he needs to learn how to use and place his body better, as he doesn’t lack nor agility or strength. Offensively, improving his off the ball movements and arriving better and more often in finishing positions can be a decisive point to bring his football to the next level. Also, a more mature decision making when on the ball is necessary.
These aspects mentioned that need to be improved are only normal given the youth of the player.
