Percentile rank among Championship midfielders (n=184) · Per 90 min · RT Intelligence™
Franco is the Championship’s premier middle-of-the-park scavenger, a Portuguese engine who combines high-volume ball recovery with a surprisingly refined creative touch. Franco is the Championship’s premier middle-of-the-park scavenger, a Portuguese engine who combines high-volume ball recovery with a surprisingly refined creative touch. While many "destroyers" are merely reactive, Franco’s profile is defined by proactivity; his 2.03 tackles won per 90 places him in the elite top 10% of league midfielders, yet he maintains an 82.9% pass accuracy that keeps his team in rhythm.
