Best Alternatives to Beni Mukendi

Playing Style Analysis

A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (62% duel success), heavily involved in play (65 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.1/90) and a high-intensity presser (press score 3.1/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up. The three closest DNA matches to Beni Mukendi:

• Gorby(84% match) — A Metronome. Statistically, he stands out as meticulous in distribution (93% pass accuracy), heavily involved in possession (69 passes/90), central to possession (79 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Xeka(83% match) — Xeka is the kind of midfielder who wins you moments rather than matches—a player whose contributions arrive in bursts of aerial dominance and unexpected goal contributions rather than through metronomic passing control. His aerial numbers tell the most interesting story: ranking in the top 20% for aerials won per 90 in Liga Portugal is genuinely unusual for a central midfielder, suggesting a physical presence that most players at this level simply can't replicate.
• Leandro Barreiro(85% match) — Barreiro is the rare midfielder who wins headers like a centre-back but still finds pockets to create like a number ten. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of Liga Portugal midfielders—a genuinely freakish number for someone operating in central midfield rather than set-piece territory—and it quietly underpins his value in transition, winning second balls that never show up in highlight reels.
