His 84.3% pass accuracy and 3.80 progressive passes per 90 suggest a player who doesn't just hold the ball—he moves it with purpose.
  • Eli Kroupi(85% match)A Poacher. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.6 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.70 goals/90) and top 10% scorer in the league.
