Playing Style Profiles

Edouard Mendy

Mendy is a goalkeeper who fancies himself a playmaker, a trait both intriguing and potentially disastrous for a team seeking stability between the posts. While his 70.6% pass accuracy is above the league average, and his distribution volume places him in the top 30% for passes per 90 minutes (26.1), it's the key passes (0.11/90, top 5%) and surprising dribbling (0.11/90, top 5%) that scream "sweeper-keeper wannabe." He even manages to get the ball into the final third at a high rate (3.79/90, top 30%).

Alphonse Areola

A Commanding Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (75% success), reliable in goal (3.9 saves/90) and commands the box with authority (1.1 punches/90).
