CreatorSmall Sample
A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 893 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Eduardo by playing style are:
- Éderson(86% match) — Éderson has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete midfield engines — a player who does the unglamorous work at an elite level while never demanding the spotlight. His 90.3% pass accuracy places him in the top 10% of league midfielders, but the more telling figure is his press intensity, also top 20% — meaning he wins the ball back as efficiently as he distributes it. That combination is rarer than it sounds.
- Lazar Samardžić(85% match) — A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (2.5 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.23 assists/90), central to possession (71 touches/90), switches play with precision (6.1 long balls/90, 80% accuracy) and top 10% creator in the league. However, he loses possession under pressure (2.0 dispossessed/90).
- Jari Vandeputte(84% match) — A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (3.0 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.29 assists/90), creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.68 big chances/90), penetrates with forward passing (9.7 final-third passes/90), heavily involved in play (70 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (6.1/90), active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% creator in the league.
