Playing Style Analysis

Augusto is a high-volume metronome trapped in a Tier C environment, operating with a technical precision that belongs in a much higher bracket of competition. His 89.4% pass accuracy isn't just tidy; it places him in the top 5% of all midfielders in the league, serving as the reliable heartbeat for a side that often lacks his level of composure. While his duel success is merely average, he compensates with a relentless engine, ranking in the top 20% for pressing intensity. The three most similar players to Filipe Augusto by playing style are:

• Dani Silva(86% match) — Silva is a metronomic safety valve operating within a Tier C environment, maintaining a staggering 100% pass completion rate that places him in the elite 5th percentile of Superliga midfielders. While his 48.2 passes per 90 suggest a high-volume facilitator, the data reveals a player who prioritizes ball retention over risk, evidenced by a pedestrian 0.64 key passes per 90. The counterintuitive insight lies in his defensive profile: despite being flagged for poor aerial duel success rates, his 1.49 aerials won per 90 ranks in the top 20%, suggesting he possesses an uncanny knack for positioning and timing even if he lacks raw physical dominance.
• Douglas Augusto(85% match) — A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (2.5 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (56% duel success) and heavily involved in play (60 touches/90).
• Marc Aguado(85% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.8 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (63% duel success), heavily involved in play (57 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
