Small Sample
A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90) and a reliable supplier (0.18 assists/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (2.0 dispossessed/90). The three most similar players to Filip Stevanović by playing style are:
- Franjo Ivanović(84% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (3.4 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.67 goals/90), a dynamic dribbler (2.1/90), draws fouls effectively (2.3/90) and top 10% scorer in the league. However, he loses possession under pressure (2.9 dispossessed/90).
- Igor Matanovic(84% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.1 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.54 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (5.0 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.5 dispossessed/90) and prone to committing fouls (2.5/90).
- Ivan Cavaleiro(83% match) — Cavaleiro is the kind of attacker who makes a team tick without ever dominating the highlights reel. Operating in Liga Portugal, his passes into the final third rank in the top 10% among forwards—a figure that quietly reframes what he actually is: not a finisher, but a connector. His key passes per 90 place him in the top 20%, yet his goals per 90 sit at dead average, which is the counterintuitive truth here—his value lives in the pass before the pass, not the shot.
