James Tarkowski
A possession-secure, aerially dominant Premier League center-back whose 80.75 possession control sub-score is the standout dimension in his profile — well above the 70-84 above-average band. Sitting at 78.71 on the Tactico scale, he rates as a notably above-average starter, with his physical duel output (69.92) and aerial presence (4.06 aerials won/90) forming the backbone of his defensive contribution. Offensive sub-scores (finishing 19.55, creation 18.42, progression 16.06) are negligible, but that is consistent with a pure defensive role in this system.
The 78.71 Tactico Score is primarily driven by the 80.75 possession control sub-score, which is the only dimension clearly in the above-average band. The physical duel sub-score of 69.92 is just below the 70 threshold, providing solid but not elite support, while the defense sub-score of 44.81 — below baseline for a center-back — acts as a meaningful drag on the overall rating.
