Playing Style Profiles
Ratão operates as a surgical, high-efficiency finisher trapped in the frame of a physical outlier who refuses to play like one. While his 0.63 goals per 90 puts him comfortably in the J-League’s top 20% of marksmen, he is anything but a traditional target man; despite a decent aerial volume, his 16.7% duel win rate is bordering on catastrophic for a player of his stature.
