Playing Style Analysis

Assombalonga arrives in League Two carrying the ghost of a £15m price tag and the quiet determination to prove that story isn't finished. At 31, he's not the explosive finisher Nottingham Forest once gambled on, but the data reveals something genuinely useful: his aerial win rate and shots per 90 both sit in the league's top 20%, making him a physical focal point who still generates genuine danger. The counterintuitive read here is that his below-average pass volume isn't laziness—it reflects deliberate positioning in the box rather than ball-playing drift. The three closest DNA matches to Britt Assombalonga:

Ally Samatta(83% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90).
Loum Tchaouna(83% match) — A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed.
Eliezer Mayenda(82% match) — A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed and a regular goalscorer (0.24 goals/90).
