AI Analysis
Generated May 13, 2026

A defensive midfielder sitting at 73.6 on the Tactico scale — good, with a clear above-baseline identity in build-up creation rather than defensive dominance. His 1.39 key passes/90 and 0.5 big chances created/90 are the standout numbers for the role, while his defensive and physical metrics sit below the midpoint of the sub-score scale. In 30 Premier League appearances (2,336 minutes), he profiles as a ball-playing pivot whose value is concentrated in the offensive phase of midfield.

Why this score

The 73.6 Tactico Score is anchored by a possession control sub-score of 65.61 — the only dimension above 55 — combined with a creation sub-score of 53.04 that edges above baseline for the role. The drag comes from progression (27.58), finishing (30.45), and physical duel (39.58), all of which sit well below the role baseline and cap the overall ceiling.

Form Trajectory

Form score of 71.44 sits 2.2 points below the Tactico Score of 73.6 — within the ±5 stable band, indicating no meaningful decline or acceleration. Output is consistent and predictable across the current season.

Strengths
Where this player is genuinely above baseline
Creative output for role

Key passes/90 of 1.39 and big chances created/90 of 0.5 are meaningfully above typical defensive midfielder benchmarks; assists/90 of 0.19 adds further evidence of consistent offensive involvement in build-up play.

Possession control

Possession control sub-score of 65.61 is the highest dimension on his profile, reflecting reliable ball retention and distribution that underpins his creative contribution.

Watchpoints
Real gaps relative to this player's role
Physical duel presence

Physical duel sub-score of 39.58 is below baseline for a defensive midfielder. Duel success rate sits at exactly 50% across 4.89 duels won/90 — functional volume but no dominance, which is a meaningful gap in a role where winning second balls matters.

Defensive output

Defense sub-score of 43.53 with tackles/90 of 2.35 and clearances/90 of 1.5 meets the floor but not the ceiling for the role. Aerial presence is limited at 0.89 aerials won/90, a relevant gap for a defensive midfielder expected to protect the backline.

Progression

Progression sub-score of 27.58 is the weakest dimension on the profile — a notable limitation for a pivot role where carrying or driving the ball forward is increasingly expected at Premier League level.
