Playing Style Analysis

Target ManProlific

A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (4.6 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.65 goals/90) and top 10% scorer in the league. However, he loses possession under pressure (1.8 dispossessed/90). The three closest DNA matches to Dušan Vlahović:

Marcus Thuram(80% match) — Marcus Thuram is a Poacher. Clinical finisher who lives for goals inside the box.
Loïs Openda(80% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.6 shots/90), wins the physical battle (55% duel success) and draws fouls effectively (3.0/90).
Santiago Castro(80% match) — Castro arrived in Serie A as a teenager and has quietly built a profile that rewards closer inspection than his modest surface numbers suggest. His 0.37 goals per 90 places him above average among Serie A forwards, and his shot volume backs that up — 2.49 attempts per 90 puts him in elite attacking territory.
