Playing Style Profiles
Danilo Pereira is the rare defender who builds attacks more reliably than he stops them—and the numbers make that tension impossible to ignore. His 72.0 passes per 90 and 12.63 passes into the final third both sit in the top 5% of the Pro League, figures that belong to a deep-lying playmaker, not a conventional backline operator.
Santos is the rare defender who creates more danger than most attackers in Liga Portugal—his 3.07 key passes per 90 and 2.05 shots per 90 both land in the top 5% of all defenders in the division, numbers that belong on a winger's profile, not a backline one. His 100% duel win rate sounds like a small-sample anomaly—and with only 352 minutes, it partly is—but his 90.9% pass accuracy suggests genuine technical quality rather than a player simply avoiding contact.
