Playing Style Profiles

Facundo Buonanotte

Buonanotte is the rare teenage midfielder who looks genuinely dangerous in front of goal rather than simply promising—his 0.29 goals per 90 places him inside the Premier League's top 20% for his position, a number most attacking midfielders twice his age would envy. His dribble rate sits in the top 5% of the league, meaning defenders cannot simply sit off him.
