Best Alternatives to Federico Redondo

Playing Style Analysis

Redondo is the quintessential "volume controller" whose surgical distribution and relentless defensive work rate suggest a player far more physically imposing than his duel success rate implies. Operating at a Tier C club, he is effectively the entire engine room, ranking in the top 5% for both passes per 90 (84.3) and tackles won (1.91), a rare statistical profile that combines the elegance of a deep-lying playmaker with the grit of a ball-winner. The counterintuitive insight lies in his goalscoring; despite sitting in the bottom 10% for shot volume, his 0.27 goals per 90 (top 5%) reveals a lethal efficiency when he does arrive late in the box.
