Best Alternatives to Beñat Turrientes

Playing Style Analysis

Turrientes is the kind of midfielder who wins the ball like a top-five defender but delivers it like a top-ten creator—a genuinely rare combination in La Liga's midfield pool. His tackles won per 90 place him in the top 5% of the division, yet this isn't a destroyer content to recycle possession; his assists rate sits in the top 10%, and he's threading passes into the final third at an above-average clip. The counterintuitive read here is that his pass accuracy looks merely average, but that's partly the ambition of his distribution—he's attempting progressive, risk-carrying passes rather than sideways safety balls.
