Playing Style Profiles

Nélson Semedo

Semedo arrives at this stage of his career as something of a paradox: a full-back whose engine burns hotter than almost anyone in the Turkish top flight, yet whose ceiling is quietly being redefined by a mid-table context. His pressing intensity ranks in the top 10% among defenders in the Super Lig—a number that speaks to genuine commitment, not just statistical noise.

Alidu Seidu

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (2.9 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (65% duel success), central to possession (79 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.6/90), a high-intensity presser (press score 3.3/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up and top 10% tackler in the league.
