Playing Style Analysis

A Midfielder. The three most similar players to Ivan Sunjic by playing style are:

• Petar Sučić(89% 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. Here's the counterintuitive part — his 1.09 tackles won per 90 sits in the top 30%, yet his overall duel win rate is below average, meaning he picks his battles intelligently rather than throwing himself into everything.
• Kristijan Jakic(88% match) — A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (3.1 tackles/90), penetrates with forward passing (8.6 final-third passes/90), wins the ball cleanly (2.3 successful tackles/90), heavily involved in play (67 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (6.3/90), a high-intensity presser (press score 3.6/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up and top 10% tackler in the league. Note: this profile is based on 470 minutes of playing time this season.
• Nikola Vlašić(85% match) — A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.20 goals/90), active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), heavily involved in play (50 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
