Playing Style Profiles

Adrien Rabiot

A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a regular goalscorer (0.24 goals/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (60% duel success), heavily involved in play (63 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.2/90) and active off the ball (2.7 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.

Manuel Locatelli

Locatelli has spent years being the midfielder that makes everything work without ever making the highlight reel—and the numbers finally prove why that matters. Operating in Serie A's congested midfield battles, he ranks in the top 5% for passes per 90, tackles won, press intensity, and passes into the final third simultaneously; finding a player who dominates all four categories at once is genuinely rare.
