Varela is a defensive anomaly operating within a Tier C Serie A side, functioning as a high-volume creative engine masquerading as a traditional fullback. Varela is a defensive anomaly operating within a Tier C Serie A side, functioning as a high-volume creative engine masquerading as a traditional fullback. While his 41 passes per game suggest a player on the periphery of build-up, his impact is surgical; he sits in the top 5% of the league for both key passes and goalscoring, a statistical profile more akin to a modern wing-back than a standard defender.
