Cristian Gabriel Romero
A Premier League center back sitting at 53 on the FQ scale — squarely in the typical performer band — across 23 matches and 1,876 minutes this season. The most notable data point is a per-90 tackle rate of 2.78, which provides some signal of defensive engagement, but all role-critical sub-scores (defense, physical duel, progression) are null, meaning a full positional assessment is not possible. At 53, this player is not meeting the baseline expected of a consistent Premier League starter at center back.
The FQ score of 53 is driven primarily by below-baseline overall output with no sub-score dimension clearing the 70 threshold. The absence of a defense sub-score — the single most important dimension for a center back — means the score leans heavily on aggregate signal rather than role-specific defensive production, which limits precision but does not inflate the rating.
