Best Alternatives to Jens Cajuste

Playing Style Analysis

Cajuste is the kind of midfielder who makes a Championship midfield tick without ever dominating the highlight reel. Operating in a B-tier side, his 84.2% pass accuracy and 39.6 passes per 90 place him comfortably above the league mean—efficient, not spectacular. The counterintuitive story, though, is in the dribbles: landing in the top 5% of Championship midfielders at 1.65 per 90, this isn't a deep-lying metronome but someone willing to carry and break lines.
