Playing Style Profiles

Nacho Vidal

A Reading Defender. Statistically, he stands out as wins the physical battle (55% duel success) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.

Unai Núñez

Núñez is a throwback defensive specialist masquerading as a modern ball-player in a lower-tier La Liga side. While his 86.7% pass accuracy and high volume of touches suggest a sophisticated playmaker from deep, the reality is more industrial; he is a safety-first distributor who lacks the creative vision to unlock midfields, ranking in the bottom 10% for chance creation.
