Best Alternatives to JP

Playing Style Analysis

JP is a chaos-inducing physical outlier who pairs an elite 66.7% duel win rate—placing him in the top 5% of Serie A midfielders—with a pass completion rate so abysmal it suggests a player allergic to the mundane. While his 50% accuracy is bottom-decile, the counterintuitive reality is that JP is a high-variance playmaker; despite his technical sloppiness, he maintains an assist rate in the league’s top 20%, proving his meager 33 passes per 90 are weapons of intent rather than retention. He offers almost nothing in the air or in a structured press, often drifting through defensive phases with concerning lethality. The three closest DNA matches to JP:

• Martín Payero(85% match) — A Balanced Midfielder. Statistically, he stands out as draws fouls effectively (2.1/90) and active off the ball (2.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
• Nicolò Barella(80% match) — Barella is the engine that makes Inter's midfield breathe—a box-to-box dynamo whose footballing intelligence operates at a frequency most teammates can only follow, not match. His key pass rate sits in Serie A's top 5%, and his assist numbers land in the top 10%, meaning the creativity isn't accidental—it's systematic.
• Manu Koné(80% match) — A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy), heavily involved in play (65 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
