Best Alternatives to Gabriel Costa

Playing Style Analysis

Costa functions as a high-precision ghost in the final third, a forward who refuses to waste the ball even if he rarely touches it. In a Tier C environment where play is often frantic and messy, his 91.7% pass accuracy isn't just good—it is elite, placing him in the top 5% of all attackers and suggesting a technical floor far above this level. However, the volume is concerning; averaging just 10.1 passes and 0.56 shots per 90, he is frequently a passenger rather than a protagonist. The three closest DNA matches to Gabriel Costa:

• André Silva(85% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.7 shots/90) and a proven goalscorer (0.44 goals/90).
• Wesley(85% match) — A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a proven goalscorer (0.40 goals/90), a dynamic dribbler (3.2/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and wins the physical battle (56% duel success).
• Pablo Durán(84% match) — A Forward.
