3. Playmaking ability

One of the underrated aspects of Fullkrug's game is his playmaking. The centre forward often comes behind to create chances and his link up play with the midfielders and wingers create several goalscoring opportunities for the team.

A lot of the times, Fullkrug uses his strength and physicality to win posession and brings the ball forward for a pass to his teammates. Overall, Niclas Fullkrug is a team player and is involved in the overall build up play inside the final third.
