Cyrus Christie

Christie remains a tactical anomaly in League One, operating more as a high-volume playmaker than a traditional defensive anchor. While his registration says defender, the data paints the picture of a marauding creative hub; he ranks in the top 5% for key passes, dribbles, and shots per 90, numbers that would make most elite attacking midfielders blush.
