A Active Full-Back.

Note: this profile is based on 689 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Daniel Banjaqui by playing style are:

• Amar Dedić(84% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90) and a reliable supplier (0.20 assists/90).
• Alberto Costa(85% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.34 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.4 tackles/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Nuno Santos(83% match) — Santos is the rare defender who creates more danger than most attackers in Liga Portugal—his 3.07 key passes per 90 and 2.05 shots per 90 both land in the top 5% of all defenders in the division, numbers that belong on a winger's profile, not a backline one. His 100% duel win rate sounds like a small-sample anomaly—and with only 352 minutes, it partly is—but his 90.9% pass accuracy suggests genuine technical quality rather than a player simply avoiding contact. Here's the counterintuitive read: his low press intensity isn't laziness, it's positioning intelligence; he intercepts above average precisely because he reads the game rather than chasing it.
