Playing Style Analysis

MetronomeSmall Sample

A Metronome. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (94% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (61% duel success), heavily involved in play (68 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 655 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Alan Cervantes by playing style are:

  • Marc Aguado(82% match)A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.8 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (63% duel success), heavily involved in play (57 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Hugo Sotelo(83% match)A Metronome. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.1 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.25 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.3 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (92% pass accuracy), heavily involved in possession (69 passes/90), penetrates with forward passing (9.6 final-third passes/90), central to possession (81 touches/90), active off the ball (2.8 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% creator in the league.
  • Federico Redondo(83% match)Redondo is the quintessential "volume controller" whose surgical distribution and relentless defensive work rate suggest a player far more physically imposing than his duel success rate implies. Operating at a Tier C club, he is effectively the entire engine room, ranking in the top 5% for both passes per 90 (84.3) and tackles won (1.91), a rare statistical profile that combines the elegance of a deep-lying playmaker with the grit of a ball-winner. The counterintuitive insight lies in his goalscoring; despite sitting in the bottom 10% for shot volume, his 0.27 goals per 90 (top 5%) reveals a lethal efficiency when he does arrive late in the box.
