Playing Style Analysis

Ball-WinnerDefensiveSmall Sample

A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.19 assists/90), an aggressive ball-winner (3.6 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (63% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (2.2 successful tackles/90), heavily involved in play (56 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (8.8/90), active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league. However, he prone to committing fouls (3.2/90). The three most similar players to Carlos Protesoni by playing style are:

  • Alex Freeman(85% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.21 goals/90), wins the physical battle (58% duel success) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Beñat Prados(85% 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.
  • Federico Redondo(85% match)Redondo is the quintessential "volume controller" whose surgical distribution and relentless defensive work rate suggest a player far more physically imposing than his duel success rate implies. Operating at a Tier C club, he is effectively the entire engine room, ranking in the top 5% for both passes per 90 (84.3) and tackles won (1.91), a rare statistical profile that combines the elegance of a deep-lying playmaker with the grit of a ball-winner. The counterintuitive insight lies in his goalscoring; despite sitting in the bottom 10% for shot volume, his 0.27 goals per 90 (top 5%) reveals a lethal efficiency when he does arrive late in the box.
