Playing Style Analysis

A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.6 shots/90) and strong in aerial duels (3.3 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.7 dispossessed/90). The three closest DNA matches to Keke Topp:

Tim Lemperle(87% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90) and a regular goalscorer (0.37 goals/90).
Shuto Machino(86% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90) and a regular goalscorer (0.25 goals/90).
Samuel Essende(85% match) — Essende is the Bundesliga’s most industrious physical anomaly, a Tier C striker who operates with the progressive vision of a deep-lying playmaker and the shot volume of a Golden Boot contender. Averaging 3.81 shots per 90, he sits in the league’s elite top 10%, yet his true value lies in his startling ability to move the needle from deep; his 2.69 passes into the final third place him in the top decile of all forwards.
