Playing Style Profiles

Simon Mignolet

Mignolet has spent the better part of a decade redefining what a Belgian goalkeeper can be—technically meticulous, press-aware, and utterly unflappable at Club Brugge. His 83.2% pass accuracy places him in the top fifth of Pro League goalkeepers, which matters more than it sounds: Belgian midfields are compact and pressing traps, meaning every goalkeeper distribution decision carries genuine risk.

Caoimhín Kelleher

A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and commands the box with authority (0.8 punches/90).
