Best Alternatives to Ángel Correa

Playing Style Analysis

Correa is the kind of attacker Liga MX defenders hate facing on the counter—low center of gravity, relentless in tight spaces, and productive enough to matter when the game is on the line. His 3.43 shots and 1.94 dribbles per 90 both rank in the top 20% of the league, and his passes into the final third sit even higher, making him a genuine threat rather than a volume merchant. The counterintuitive read here is his pass accuracy: at 70.8% it looks sloppy, but it's the natural tax of someone attempting progressive, risk-forward delivery rather than recycling sideways. The three closest DNA matches to Ángel Correa:

• Peque Fernández(82% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.4 key passes/90), wins the physical battle (57% duel success) and draws fouls effectively (4.4/90).
