Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Playing CBBall-PlayingSmall Sample

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (2.9 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (65% duel success), central to possession (79 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.6/90), a high-intensity presser (press score 3.3/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up and top 10% tackler in the league. Note: this profile is based on 726 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Alidu Seidu by playing style are:

  • Samson Baidoo(86% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90), commanding in the air (4.4 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (92% pass accuracy), strong in aerial duels (3.2 aerials won/90) and active off the ball (2.8 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 637 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Nélson Semedo(86% match)Semedo arrives at this stage of his career as something of a paradox: a full-back whose engine burns hotter than almost anyone in the Turkish top flight, yet whose ceiling is quietly being redefined by a mid-table context. His pressing intensity ranks in the top 10% among defenders in the Super Lig—a number that speaks to genuine commitment, not just statistical noise. The aerial win rate of 66.7% places him in the top fifth positionally, which is counterintuitive given how low his raw aerial volume sits; he's winning the battles he picks, not hunting them indiscriminately.
  • Kassoum Ouattara(86% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.28 assists/90), an aggressive ball-winner (2.5 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.7 interceptions/90) and active off the ball (3.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
