Playing Style Profiles

Ricardo Pereira

Pereira remains a Premier League caliber engine trapped in a Championship chassis, operating less like a traditional fullback and more like a high-intensity defensive architect. While his 1.83 successful tackles per 90 place him in the elite top 5% of the division, it is his intellectual dominance that truly separates him; he doesn't just react, he suffocates, ranking in the top 5% for pressing intensity.

Kenny Tete

A Physical Stopper. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (3.3 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (60% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (2.0 successful tackles/90), central to possession (71 touches/90), active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league.
