Playing Style Analysis

Target Man

Francisco das Chagas Soares dos Santos is a Target Man. Physical presence who wins duels and holds up play. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.22 assists/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.7/90). The three closest DNA matches to Tiquinho Soares:

  • Lautaro Martínez(80% match) Lautaro Martínez is the rare striker who makes Inter's system look inevitable—a physical, relentless finisher who bends games to his will rather than waiting for them to open up. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of Serie A attackers, a number that reframes him entirely: this isn't a small, slippery forward—he's a bulldozer with technique.
  • Marcus Thuram(80% match) Marcus Thuram is a Poacher. Clinical finisher who lives for goals inside the box.
  • Rasmus Højlund(80% match) Højlund arrived in Serie A carrying the blueprint of a modern target forward — raw, physical, and still being written. His goal return of 0.43 per 90 places him comfortably in the top 30% of Serie A attackers, a figure that flatters a player whose broader offensive contribution remains frustratingly thin.
