Playing Style Profiles
Andersen is a paradox of a center-half, operating as a high-volume ball distributor who carries a genuine goal threat despite displaying a puzzling vulnerability in the air. While his 56.1 passes per 90 place him in the league’s top 30%, suggesting a player comfortable dictating from the back, his 37.5% aerial win rate is a glaring red flag for a League One defender.
A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (7.8 clearances/90), wins the physical battle (59% duel success), strong in aerial duels (4.4 aerials won/90) and uses long balls frequently (6.6/90).
