Playing Style Profiles

Alex Telles

Telles is a specialist masquerading as a fullback, a dead-ball artist whose left foot operates more like a playmaker’s wand than a defender's tool. In a Serie A tier-C side, he is an offensive outlier; his 0.41 goals per 90 put him in the top 5% of all defenders, while his shot volume and key pass metrics consistently haunt the league’s elite percentiles.
