Starting with his pace, Dempsey is quick enough for a CAM and feels sharp when making forward runs.

His shooting ability with his strong foot is one of his biggest strengths. Dempsey is very reliable inside and around the box, capable of finishing chances decisively when positioned well.

As a playmaker, he performs better than expected. His passing is clean, and he links up well with both strikers and wingers.

On the ball, Dempsey feels smooth and controlled. His dribbling isn’t flashy, but it’s efficient and composed.

Physicality is an underrated part of his game. For a CAM, he holds off defenders surprisingly well and doesn’t get pushed off the ball easily.
