Stuttgart’s impressive 2023/24 campaign must primarily be attributed to Serhou Guirassy and Deniz Undav, both of whom finished with 25+ goal contributions.
However, one other player was emerging to become one of the crucial players for the Bundesliga club this campaign if either Guirassy or Undav left during the summer, and as expected, it was Guirassy who left to join Borussia Dortmund.
The player who was indeed going to become an essential player for this campaign was Enzo Millot, who was part of the French Olympic team.
He is in his fourth full season at the Bundesliga club, and only once has he played more than 1000 minutes, which occurred last season.
It would not be a surprise if he plays more minutes than last season in this campaign.
The visualisation below shows where the 22-year-old left-footed attacking midfielder ranks for some of the critical metrics compared with the other players who play in a similar position in Europe’s top-five leagues.
Enzo Millot Radar Map
Enzo Millot usually plays as an advanced midfielder, as a number 10.
Millot has scored the same number of goals (three) as Jamal Musiala, with an xG of 4.49, compared to Musiala, who had an xG of 2.53 at the time of writing.
It’s fair to say he has to improve his finishing marginally if he ought to be on par with xG, like last season, or overperform it.
Creating at least one big chance a game, with 1.09 key passes per 90, Millot ranks the highest for this among the no.10s in the Bundesliga.
His ball progression has to improve, though.
He currently ranks below the median for that metric with only 5.82 progressive passes per 90 minutes.
Enzo Millot’s defensive contribution to Stuttgart has been valuable.
The midfielder racks up a higher volume of PAdj interceptions and PAdj sliding tackles than the other attacking midfielders in this dataset.
Enzo Millot has appeared for almost all levels in the French national youth teams and is now ready to make his senior debut.
If he continues his start to the season, he could well be a member of the French national team by the end of the season.
