Playing Style Analysis

Kastrati is a high-volume outlet operating on the fringes of the final third, functioning more as a tactical facilitator than a traditional penalty-box predator. While his 1.14 dribbles per 90 minutes place him in the elite top 5% of the 1. HNL for sheer frequency, the data reveals a startling lack of physical bite, evidenced by a dismal 16.7% duel win rate that suggests he avoids contact at all costs. The three most similar players to Lirim Kastrati by playing style are:

• Tidiam Gomis(84% match) — A Dynamic Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.17 assists/90), a dynamic dribbler (2.1/90) and creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.60 big chances/90).
• Milot Rashica(83% match) — Rashica has evolved from a purebred transitional speedster into a blue-collar creative engine who defies the typical "luxury" winger archetype. While his 72% pass accuracy suggests a lack of refinement, the data reveals a high-risk, high-reward playmaker who sits in the top 5% of the Super Lig for key passes (2.11/90) and assists (0.32/90). The counterintuitive insight here is his defensive ferocity; despite being an attacker, he ranks in the top 5% for both ground duel win rate (83.3%) and tackles won, functioning more like a defensive end in a high-pressing system than a traditional wide man.
• Weslley Patati(84% match) — A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.9 shots/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.2/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (2.1 dispossessed/90).
