Player intelligence

Position profile

MID 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

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.
