CreatorCreative
A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.8 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.30 goals/90), a prolific assist provider (0.50 assists/90), top 10% creator in the league and top 10% tackler in the league. The three most similar players to Ewandro Costa by playing style are:
- Jari Vandeputte(83% 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.
- Lorenzo Bernasconi(84% match) — Bernasconi operates as a high-efficiency creative engine trapped within a Tier C outfit, functioning as a sophisticated bridge between a struggling defense and a neglected attack. While his 40.5 passes per minute suggest a standard metronome, the qualitative weight of those touches is elite; ranking in the top 20% for both key passes and expected assists, he is a primary architect in a desert of talent. His 56.3% duel win rate proves he isn't just a luxury playmaker, yet the data reveals a fascinating paradox: he is a ground-level gladiator who is virtually non-existent in the air, winning half his duels but ranking in the bottom 10% for aerial volume.
- Victor Froholdt(83% match) — A Balanced Midfielder. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.23 assists/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
