Pulling current player details into Tactico.


A possession-controlling defensive midfielder in the Premier League with a Tactico Score of 76 — above average for the role. The standout quality is ball retention, with a possession control sub-score of 77, while all other sub-scores sit well below 45, making this a specialist profile rather than a complete one. Across 2,847 minutes this season, output has been consistent and high-volume.
The Tactico Score of 76 is anchored almost entirely by the possession control sub-score of 77 — the only dimension above 55. Every other sub-score (finishing 27, creation 30, progression 29, defense 43, physical duel 44) sits below the role baseline, which caps the overall ceiling despite strong ball-retention qualities.
Form score of 73 sits 3.1 points below the Tactico Score of 76 — within the ±5 stable band, indicating no meaningful decline. Output is steady and predictable with no volatility flags.
Both profile as possession-anchoring defensive midfielders with similar Tactico Scores (76.0 vs 75.1), though Casimiro has historically offered more defensive dominance and aerial threat at the elite level.
Comparable Tactico Score (73.6) and role definition as a ball-retaining defensive midfielder in the Premier League; Wharton's profile skews younger with a potentially higher development ceiling.
Similar overall score (73.1) and possession-first profile in a top league context; André tends to offer more progressive carrying, which this player's progression sub-score of 29 does not match.
Sub-score of 77 is the clear standout — above average for a defensive midfielder. This is supported by a 7.07 average match rating across 34 appearances, reflecting consistent on-ball reliability rather than isolated moments.
Defense sub-score of 43 is below the role baseline for a defensive midfielder. While 1.74 tackles/90 and 4.77 duels won/90 show volume, a 56% duel success rate falls short of the 60%+ threshold typical of elite holders of this role. Aerial presence at 0.85 won/90 is modest.
Progression sub-score of 29 and creation sub-score of 30 are both well below baseline. At 0.85 key passes/90 and 0.09 assists/90, the player contributes minimally to advancing or unlocking play — a meaningful gap for a Premier League defensive midfielder expected to drive transitions.
