Best Alternatives to Luis Alberto

Playing Style Analysis

Luis Alberto is a midfielder who earns his wages in the final third, not the defensive trenches—and the numbers make no attempt to hide it. His 0.59 goals per 90 places him in the top 5% of the league, a remarkable figure for a player operating in midfield, while his 11.24 passes into the final third per 90 ranks top 10%—proof that he's not just shooting blindly, he's consistently threatening.
