A Poacher. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.8 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.57 goals/90) and top 20% scorer in the league. The three most similar players to Felipe Augusto by playing style are:
- Mohamed Bayo(85% match) — Bayo is the kind of striker who exists almost exclusively to put the ball in the net—and in the Super Lig this season, he's doing exactly that better than 90% of his peers. His 0.63 goals per 90 is the headline, and it's genuinely elite at this level. What makes that number counterintuitive is how little he participates in build-up play: sitting in the bottom 10% for passes per 90, he's essentially invisible until the moment he isn't.
- Mauro Icardi(84% match) — Icardi remains one of football's most polarising case studies: a striker whose entire value is compressed into the 18-yard box with almost surgical precision, and whose numbers in the Turkish top flight prove the instinct hasn't left him. His 1.15 goals per 90 and 4.69 shots per 90 both sit in the league's top 5%, meaning he isn't just scoring—he's generating and converting at a rate that embarrasses most peers in this division. The counterintuitive detail is his 86.4% pass accuracy, also top 5%; this isn't a battering ram, it's a player who links play tidily before disappearing into dangerous spaces.
- Oğuz Aydın(84% match) — A Link-up Striker. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (3.1 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.16 assists/90) and meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy). Note: this profile is based on 551 minutes of playing time this season.
