Playing Style Profiles
Foden is the rare footballer who makes a Champions League pedigree look like a birthright—cultured, decisive, and almost offensively gifted for someone nominally labelled a midfielder. His numbers tell a story of a player who lives in the final third: shots and goals both land in the top 5% of Premier League midfielders, while his key passes rank top 10%—a dual threat that most creative players simply cannot match.
Wirtz is the rare midfielder who makes a football pitch feel smaller than it is—compressing space with his movement, then exploiting it with his passing. His key pass rate sits in the top 5% of Premier League midfielders, which isn't a marginal edge; it means he's creating chances at a frequency most attacking midfielders in this league can only approximate.
