Rodrigo Hernández Cascante
A defensive midfielder in the Premier League sitting at 59.12 on the FQ scale — squarely in the adequate-starter band. The most distinctive feature of this profile is not what is present but what is absent: a physicalDuel sub-score of 15.56 and a progression sub-score of 17.6 reveal a player who contributes little in the two dimensions modern defensive midfielders are most valued for. The defense sub-score of 52 is itself below the baseline expected for the role, leaving no clear area of positional strength.
The FQ score of 59.12 is driven primarily by the combination of a below-baseline defense sub-score (52) and an extremely weak progression sub-score (17.6) — the two core output dimensions for a defensive midfielder. Neither compensates for the other, placing this player at the lower end of the adequate-starter band despite 1,423 minutes of Premier League involvement this season.
