Playing Style Profiles
Salmon is a technical anomaly operating within a Tier C backline, functioning less as a traditional defensive anchor and more as a high-security ball-carrier. While a 90% pass accuracy puts him in the league’s elite top 20%, his bottom-decile volume of 13.3 passes per 90 reveals a player trapped in a system that starves him of the ball, rather than a limited distributor.
A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, commanding in the air (7.1 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.6 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (88% pass accuracy), heavily involved in possession (60 passes/90), central to possession (74 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (7.1/90) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
