Playing Style Profiles

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.

Nico O'Reilly

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, active in the tackle (2.4 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), central to possession (70 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
