Playing Style Profiles

Sam Larsson

A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.1 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.24 assists/90), heavily involved in play (50 touches/90), active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 20% creator in the league.

Diogo Gonçalves

Gonçalves is a high-volume trigger-man operating as a sophisticated creative hub within a Tier-C Super Lig side that often struggles to match his vision. While his 83.3% pass accuracy suggests a safe distributor, the reality is far more aggressive; he ranks in the top 5% of the league for shots (2.69/90) and the top 20% for key passes, proving he is the primary engine of chance creation rather than a mere passenger.
