Traditional Keeper
A Traditional Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (92% success) and commands the box with authority (0.8 punches/90). The three most similar players to Alisson by playing style are:
- Caoimhín Kelleher(87% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and commands the box with authority (0.8 punches/90).
- Jordan Pickford(85% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, dominant in aerial duels (92% success) and penetrates with forward passing (11.2 final-third passes/90).
- Ederson(85% match) — Ederson has carved out a reputation in the Super Lig as one of its most technically assured goalkeepers, a shot-stopper who doubles as a genuine first-pass option in a league where that combination is rarer than it sounds. His 79.9% pass accuracy places him in the top 5% among league peers—not a trivial achievement when defensive pressure in the Super Lig can be relentless and unforgiving. The counterintuitive detail here is his passes-per-90 sitting below average: he's not spraying the ball constantly, but when he does pass, he's almost always right.
