Playing Style Analysis

Active Full-Back

Cufré is a high-volume creative engine trapped in the body of a traditional fullback, functioning more as a localized playmaker than a defensive anchor for his Tier C side. While his 38 passes per 90 suggest a standard involvement, his output is anything but ordinary: he ranks in the top 5% of the league for key passes, a staggering frequency for a defender that dwarfs his modest assist return. The counterintuitive reality of his data is found in the air; despite low volume, his 64.3% aerial win rate puts him in the top quintile of the league, proving he is surprisingly robust when challenged vertically. The three most similar players to Braian Cufré by playing style are:

  • Abel Bretones(83% match)A Reading Defender. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.4 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.27 assists/90), active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (58% duel success) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 660 minutes of playing time this season.

Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.9 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.47 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.9 interceptions/90), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), penetrates with forward passing (11.8 final-third passes/90), central to possession (78 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (7.6/90) and active off the ball (3.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
