Best Alternatives to Bobby De Cordova-Reid

Playing Style Analysis

De Cordova-Reid is a tactical chameleon whose primary value lies in his predatory instinct from deep, masking the profile of a secondary striker within the shell of a Championship midfielder. While his 76.3% pass accuracy and bottom-decile interception rate suggest a player who struggles to anchor a game or control tempo, his output in the final third tells a different story. Ranking in the top 20% for both goals per 90 (0.30) and shots per 90 (1.74), he operates less as a playmaker and more as a late-arriving ghost in the box.
