Playing Style Analysis

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90) and meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy). Note: this profile is based on 608 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Fikayo Tomori by playing style are:

• Pierre Kalulu(90% match) — Kalulu has quietly become one of Serie A's most progressive defenders — a ball-carrier in disguise wearing a centre-back's number. His 60.8 passes per 90 and 6.23 passes into the final third both land in the top 20-30% of defenders in the league, figures that reveal a player comfortable initiating attacks rather than simply recycling possession. His key passes per 90 (top 20%) are genuinely remarkable for a defender — higher than many midfielders — suggesting his influence on the final third is being systematically undervalued by clubs still scanning only defensive metrics.
• Trevoh Chalobah(88% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.7 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (93% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (59% duel success), heavily involved in possession (74 passes/90), central to possession (87 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Manuel Akanji(87% match) — Akanji builds play with the precision of a midfielder wearing a centre-back's shirt—his 92.2% pass accuracy sits in the top 10% of Serie A defenders, and his 67.5 passes per 90 ranks in the top 5%, making him one of the league's most active distributors from deep. His 6.43 passes into the final third per 90 places him in the top 20%, meaning his value isn't just in keeping possession clean but in genuinely advancing it. The counterintuitive read here: his aerial win rate of 44.1% looks soft, yet he wins 1.62 aerials per 90 above the positional average—he's simply not seeking duels he can avoid, which speaks to intelligence rather than deficiency.
