Playing Style Analysis

A Traditional Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and commands the box with authority (0.5 punches/90). The three most similar players to Dominik Kotarski by playing style are:

• Vasilios Barkas(86% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.4 saves/90).
• Ivo Grbic(85% match) — Grbic is a statistical anomaly in the Super Lig, operating less like a traditional shot-stopper and more like a deep-lying libero who happens to wear gloves. While his 1,980 minutes prove his durability, it is his 73.8% pass accuracy—placing him in the elite top 5% of the league—that defines his profile as a modern distributor. He doesn't just clear the ball; he initiates, evidenced by his 2.58 passes into the final third per 90.
• Matej Kovar(85% match) — Kovar is the kind of goalkeeper who makes a pressing coach sleep soundly—a sweeper-keeper with the spatial awareness to act as an eleventh outfielder without the recklessness that usually comes with the territory. His pass volume of 39.5 per 90 sits above the Eredivisie average, and his passes into the final third rank similarly well, suggesting a keeper actively involved in building rather than merely recycling. The counterintuitive detail is his interception rate—top 20% in the league—a number that quietly reveals how far off his line he operates and how consistently he reads danger before it materialises.
