The three most similar players to Andres Dumitrescu by playing style are:

  • Alexander Prass(84% match)A Physical Stopper. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), an aggressive ball-winner (2.6 tackles/90), active off the ball (2.7 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league.
  • Mert Müldür(84% match)Müldür occupies a fascinating tactical grey zone—a defender who consistently threatens the opposition goal more than he's troubled by his own. His tackles won rate sits in the top 5% of Super Lig defenders, meaning he's not just positioning well; he's actively winning the ball back at an elite frequency for this league. Pair that with top-20% key passes and shots per 90, and you have someone functioning more like an advanced wing-back than a conventional fullback.
  • Andrei Rațiu(84% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), central to possession (71 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
