Best Alternatives to Jean Michaël Seri

Playing Style Analysis

Seri remains a curious paradox of high-level ball retention and physical fragility, operating as a deep-lying metronome who somehow finds the net more often than he finds a teammate’s run into the box. While his 85.4% pass accuracy and high volume of touches place him comfortably among the league’s top 30% of distributors, his creative output is shockingly low at just 0.20 key passes per 90. The data reveals a counterintuitive truth: Seri is currently more of a "ghost scorer" than a playmaker, sitting in the top 20% for goals despite failing to break lines with his passing.
