Best Alternatives to Gerson

Playing Style Analysis

Gerson Santos da Silva is a Metronome. Possession anchor who dictates tempo. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a dynamic dribbler (3.0/90), active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy) and wins the physical battle (59% duel success). The three closest DNA matches to Gerson:

• Éderson(80% match) — Éderson has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete midfield engines — a player who does the unglamorous work at an elite level while never demanding the spotlight. His 90.3% pass accuracy places him in the top 10% of league midfielders, but the more telling figure is his press intensity, also top 20% — meaning he wins the ball back as efficiently as he distributes it.
• Khéphren Thuram(80% match) — Thuram carries the genetic burden of a famous name with surprising ease — not by mimicking his father's grace, but by imposing himself through sheer physical and technical authority in the middle of Serie A's most demanding environments. His passing volume places him in the top 20% of midfielders in the league, and that volume comes with 86.6% accuracy — this isn't a recycler, it's a driver.
• Petar Sučić(80% match) — Sučić has quietly built a case as one of Serie A's more quietly effective midfield operators — a Croatian with a continental pedigree who does more with the ball than his modest goal contributions suggest. His 52.2 passes per 90 places him in the league's top 20%, and that volume carries real quality: 87.9% accuracy, 6.36 progressive passes into the final third, and 1.50 key passes per 90 all land in the top tier.
