• Toni Martínez(84% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (3.2 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.39 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (6.2 aerials won/90).
• Fally Mayulu(84% match) — Mayulu is a high-volume shot monster currently masking a developmental deficit through pure, cold-blooded efficiency in front of goal. While his 0.56 goals per 90 puts him in the elite top 5% of Liga Portugal strikers, the underlying metrics paint a picture of a player who is essentially a passenger until the ball enters the box. He dominates the air with 3.07 aerials won per 90—again, top-tier production—yet his 33.3% win rate suggests he is simply contesting everything rather than winning with authority.
• Pablo Durán(84% match) — A Forward.
