Playing Style Analysis
Maja is the Championship’s premier connective tissue masquerading as a traditional number nine, a player whose value lies in the fluency he brings to a front line rather than raw penalty-box predation. While his scoring output of 0.17 per 90 is merely pedestrian, his 81.6% pass accuracy places him in the elite 10% of league forwards, functioning as a high-level fulcrum who facilitates rather than just finishes. The counterintuitive reality of his data is that despite a modest 1.63 shots per 90, he is a creative engine, sitting in the top 20% for key passes and volume of play.
