Playing Style Profiles

Stéphane Imad Diarra

Diarra is a creative outlier masquerading as a traditional attacker, operating as a high-volume playmaker who prioritizes the final ball over the final touch. While his goalscoring output remains underwhelming, his underlying metrics suggest a player of elite vision; sitting in the top 5% for key passes per 90, he functions as the primary architect for a Tier C Liga Portugal side that often lacks his level of sophistication.

Ricardo Horta

A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.1 key passes/90), a proven goalscorer (0.65 goals/90), a reliable supplier (0.17 assists/90), meticulous in distribution (88% pass accuracy) and top 10% scorer in the league.
