Playing Style Profiles

Gastón Álvarez

Álvarez has built his game around one near-obsessive quality: the ability to move the ball cleanly under pressure, ranking in the top 5% of Pro League defenders for pass accuracy at 93.3%—a figure that separates him from the noise. He completes nearly 59 passes per 90, placing him in the top fifth of his peers, and his delivery into the final third suggests a defender who genuinely initiates rather than just recycles.

Álvaro Núñez

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), central to possession (71 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
