Martín Zubimendi Ibáñez
A physically dominant defensive midfielder in the Premier League with a TactiQ Score of 83.78 — above-average and consistent across 35 matches (2,872 minutes). The most distinctive quality is defensive volume: 2.13 tackles/90, 4.73 duels won/90 at a 61% success rate, and 2.04 aerials won/90 paint a picture of a player who controls the physical battle in midfield. Goal threat at 0.16/90 is above typical for the role, though creative output is minimal.
The TactiQ Score of 83.78 is driven primarily by elite defensive and physical output — duel volume, tackle rate, and aerial presence all sit well above baseline for a defensive midfielder. The score is held from the 85+ tier by limited creation (0.03 assists/90, 0.56 key passes/90) and poor finishing efficiency relative to the chances that do arrive.
