AI Analysis
Generated May 22, 2026

A Premier League center-back sitting at 75.39 on the Tactico scale — above average for the position, with 30 appearances and 2,617 minutes this season providing a high-confidence read (0.94). The most distinctive quality is defensive volume: 6.16 clearances/90 and 3.20 aerials won/90 place him among the more active defensive contributors at this level. Attacking output is minimal (0.03 goals/90, 0.31 key passes/90), but that is consistent with the role profile.

Why this score

The Tactico Score of 75.39 is anchored by possession control (62.82) and defense (58.51) as the two highest sub-scores, reflecting a player who is reliable in ball retention and defensive engagement but has not reached the 70+ threshold in any single dimension. The absence of an elite sub-score is what keeps him in the 70–77 "good" band rather than pushing toward 78+.

Form Trajectory

Form score of 73.74 sits 1.65 points below the Tactico Score of 75.39 — a delta of -1.7, which falls within the ±5 stable range. No meaningful decline or upward surge; this player is performing in line with his established baseline.

Similar Profiles
Players with comparable scoring profiles in the same role
Waldemar Anton

Anton's Tactico Score of 75.3 is nearly identical, reflecting a similar profile of reliable defensive volume without elite sub-score peaks; the key difference is league context, as Anton operates outside the Premier League.

Compare →
Trevoh Chalobah

Chalobah's 73.09 score places him in the same 'good' band, suggesting comparable overall contribution levels; Chalobah's career has shown more positional versatility, which may account for the marginal score gap.

Mario Gila Fuentes

Gila Fuentes at 72.95 is the closest in profile among the comparables, sharing a mid-70s ceiling built on defensive consistency rather than standout individual metrics; the slight gap likely reflects differences in league difficulty and aerial output.

Real gaps relative to this player's role
Defensive sub-score

Defense sub-score of 58.51 sits in the mid-range band (55–69) for a starting Premier League center-back. With 1.79 tackles/90 and a 55% duel success rate — only marginally above baseline for the position — the defensive output is consistent but not a differentiator.

Physical duel dominance

Physical duel sub-score of 57.28 reflects the 55% duel success rate across 5.23 duels won/90. The volume is solid, but the success rate indicates he is not winning the majority of contested situations comfortably, which is a meaningful gap for a center-back whose primary job is to win individual battles.
