AI scouting report

Sviatchenko is a defensive anchor who plays like a throwback stopper in a modern league, blending Danish grit with an elite physical dominance that few MLS attackers can overcome. While he sits in the top 10% for duel success and the top 5% for aerials won per ninety, his game isn't just about raw power; it is about the calculated annihilation of the opponent's direct options. The counterintuitive insight here lies in his high volume of passes alongside a bottom-decile rating for chance creation: Sviatchenko is a "recycler," not a "creator," serving as a reliable structural pivot who prioritizes possession security over high-risk verticality. He offers zero threat in the final third and lacks the press intensity to lead a high-line transition, making him a liability in hyper-aggressive systems.
