Playing Style Profiles

Marc Guéhi

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.2 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (85% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), uses long balls frequently (6.3/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.

Malick Thiaw

Thiaw has quietly become one of the Premier League's most complete defensive profiles — a towering centre-back who doesn't just win his battles, he wins them cleanly. His aerial win rate of 65.1% and duel success of 64.2% both sit in the league's top 20%, but the counterintuitive story is his attacking output: 0.16 goals per 90 and 0.98 shots per 90 place him in the top 10% among defenders, suggesting a genuine threat from set-pieces that opponents routinely underestimate.
