Best Alternatives to Matías Soulé

Playing Style Analysis

Soulé has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete attacking connectors—a winger who passes like a midfielder and presses like a striker. His 39.5 passes per 90 ranks in the top 5% among attackers in the league, which sounds counterintuitive until you watch him: he's not a hoarder of possession, he's a circuit board. His 6.33 passes into the final third per 90 is the genuinely elite number here, placing him again in the top 5%—meaning defences don't just track his runs, they track his decisions. The three closest DNA matches to Matías Soulé:

• Christian Pulisic(80% match) — A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.0 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.45 goals/90), a reliable supplier (0.22 assists/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and top 10% scorer in the league.
• Francisco Conceição(80% match) — Conceição has carved out a rare identity at Juventus: a wide attacker who functions as much like a press-triggering midfielder as a goal threat, and the numbers make that case compellingly. His pass accuracy sits in the top 5% of Serie A attackers—a figure that sounds pedestrian until you realise it's underpinned by 36.1 passes per 90, top 10% in the league, meaning he isn't just safe with the ball, he's constantly involved.
• David Neres (80% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.0 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.29 goals/90), a prolific assist provider (0.29 assists/90) and creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.88 big chances/90).
