• Alexander Bah(85% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (3.2 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (57% duel success), central to possession (79 touches/90) and top 10% tackler in the league.
• Gonçalo Inácio(85% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (59% duel success), heavily involved in possession (88 passes/90), penetrates with forward passing (12.3 final-third passes/90), central to possession (99 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (9.0/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Jakub Kiwior(84% match) — Kiwior has quietly rebuilt himself into one of the most pass-progressive centre-backs in Liga Portugal — a defender whose primary weapon is the ball at his feet, not the boot to clear it. His 12.53 passes into the final third per 90 ranks in the top 5% of the league, and that volume tells you something important: this isn't a man sitting deep and recycling. He's the first link in attacking transitions.
