Best Alternatives to Iñigo Martínez

Playing Style Analysis

Martínez is a left-footed centre-back whose passing range and surprising nose for goal offer more than his Pro League Tier C standing suggests. While his 88.9% pass accuracy comfortably places him in the league's top 20%, and he contributes a very respectable 8.14 passes into the final third per 90 (top 10%), don't mistake him for a playmaker; a paltry 0.17 key passes per 90 betray his limited vision when actually near the opponent's box. His 0.13 goals/90 is misleadingly high for a defender, likely a result of being dangerous in set-piece situations, a trait not always evident in other metrics.
