Player intelligence

Position profile

FWD context · Each percentile is an empirical rank among eligible players in the same broad position group. Percentiles are not ratings.

Insufficient eligible position metrics for a meaningful radar.

Style

Tendencies describe what a player attempts; higher is not automatically better.

Playing style

Archetype unavailable

Limited sample for archetype analysis: requires 50 passes.

Archetypes describe outfield playing tendencies, not quality, ability, or rank.

Role Fit — Bayer Leverkusen

Role Fit unavailable

Role Fit requires at least 50 passes and 29 carries in the product sample.

Attacking impact

Impact of passes and carries

Measures how much each pass or carry changed the expected attacking value of a possession. Positive values improved the attack; negative values reduced it.

Similar playing styles

Style similarity compares position-relative playing style across passing and carrying tendencies. Scores are not ability ratings.

100 means identical observed profiles; 50 is about the median same-position playing style match. Not a probability.

Playing-style similarity unavailable

V3.3B similarity requires an outfield player with at least 50 passes and 29 carries.

Sample support uses the lower observed-match count in each pair. Lower coverage means a measured profile may vary more with additional matches; it never changes the style similarity or ranking.
