Playing Style Profiles
Fariñez remains the ultimate "what if" of South American goalkeeping, a diminutive shot-stopper whose recovery from a devastating ACL injury is currently being mapped out in the low-stakes environment of mid-tier friendlies. While a 68.1% pass accuracy and 22.1 passes per ninety place him comfortably above the league average for distribution, these figures are deceptive; they reflect a player being used as a safe recycling valve rather than the aggressive, line-breaking initiator we saw at Millonarios.
A Traditional Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and penetrates with forward passing (8.2 final-third passes/90).
