Playing Style Profiles
A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (3.2 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (88% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (58% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (2.1 successful tackles/90), heavily involved in play (57 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.6/90), a high-intensity presser (press score 3.1/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up and top 10% tackler in the league.
Fred operates as a one-man distribution engine in the Super Lig, combining elite-level volume passing with genuine forward intent in a way few midfielders in this league can match. His 62.5 passes per 90 and 11.05 passes into the final third both land in the top 5% — not recycling possession but actively threading the game forward.
