Playing Style Analysis

Praxedes is the kind of midfielder who wins the ball like a top-5% enforcer but then does frustratingly little with it. His duel win rate sits among Serie A's elite at his position, and his aerial presence—nearly two wins per 90—contradicts the weakness flags in the data, suggesting the raw numbers obscure a player still finding his footing in limited minutes. The counterintuitive story here is his shot volume: 2.87 per 90 puts him in the top 5% of league midfielders, meaning this is no defensive passenger—he's arriving in dangerous areas. The three most similar players to Praxedes by playing style are:

• Beñat Prados(86% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (3.0 tackles/90), heavily involved in play (55 touches/90) and top 10% tackler in the league.
• Matteo Prati(86% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.4 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), heavily involved in play (52 touches/90) and uses long balls frequently (5.9/90). Note: this profile is based on 684 minutes of playing time this season.
• Cesare Casadei(86% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.27 goals/90) and dominant in the air (4.2 aerials won/90, 60%).
