Pulling current player details into Tactico.


A possession-controlling defensive midfielder whose standout quality is ball retention (possessionControl sub-score: 75.38), not defensive disruption. Sitting at 78.84 on the Tactico Scale — above-average for a typical starter — his creative output of 2.52 key passes/90 is well above baseline for the role, but his defensive sub-scores (43.78) and progression (44.21) sit below the midpoint, limiting his ceiling.
The 78.84 Tactico Score is primarily driven by the possessionControl sub-score of 75.38 and the creative volume (2.52 key passes/90, 0.37 big chances created/90), which pull the overall rating above the 70-77 "good" band. The drag comes from below-baseline defense (43.78) and progression (44.21) sub-scores, which prevent a push into the 80s.
Form score of 76.47 sits 2.4 points below the Tactico Score of 78.84 — within the ±5 stable band, indicating no meaningful decline or surge. Form is holding steady rather than building, with no upward momentum to suggest a near-term rating revision.
Both profile as possession-anchoring defensive midfielders in the Premier League with comparable Tactico scores (78.84 vs 75.1); Casimiro carries a stronger defensive sub-score profile, while this player edges him on creative output.
Similar overall rating band (78.84 vs 73.6) and role bucket as a ball-controlling DM; Wharton's profile skews more defensively conservative, whereas this player generates notably more key passes per 90.
Comparable Tactico score (78.84 vs 73.14) with shared strengths in possession retention for the DM role; André's progression metrics are closer to role baseline, making him the more balanced defensive option of the two.
Sub-score of 75.38 is the clear standout dimension — above average for the role and the primary reason this player sits at 78.84 overall. Backed by a 7.27 average match rating across 27 appearances (2,214 minutes), indicating consistent on-ball reliability.
2.52 key passes/90 and 0.37 big chances created/90 are well above typical defensive midfielder baselines. Adds 0.2 goals/90 and 0.12 assists/90, giving genuine offensive contribution from deep — a creation sub-score of 57.38 reflects this as a secondary but real strength.
Defense sub-score of 43.78 is below baseline for a defensive midfielder — the primary role expectation. Tackles/90 of 2.4 and a 53% duel success rate from 5.77 duels won/90 show engagement, but the sub-score signals the quality of defensive actions is not matching the volume.
Progression sub-score of 44.21 is a meaningful gap for a modern DM expected to advance play. Combined with a physical duel sub-score of 50.18, this limits his effectiveness in transitional phases where elite DMs typically score 70+.
