Playing Style Profiles

Pablo Sarabia

Sarabia is the rare attacking profile who wins the ball back like a midfielder but arrives in the box like a forward—a genuinely awkward combination for opposition teams to manage. His tackles won rate sits in the top 5% among attackers in the Stars League, which reframes his entire defensive contribution; this isn't accidental pressing, it's structured ball-winning.

Cheikh Sabaly

A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.19 assists/90).
