Best Alternatives to Mamadou Sylla

Playing Style Analysis

Sylla is the ultimate "low-touch, high-impact" specialist for a Tier C Pro League side, a striker who exists almost entirely outside the build-up phase to focus on aerial dominance and box efficiency. While his 54.5% pass accuracy is objectively poor—languishing in the bottom 10% of the league—it masks a functional minimalism; he isn't there to link play, but to finish it. He contests 2.03 aerials per 90, placing him in the top 20% of attackers, yet he couples this physical profile with a surprisingly sharp 0.37 goals per 90. The three closest DNA matches to Mamadou Sylla:

• Habib Diallo(85% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as strong in aerial duels (3.4 aerials won/90).
• Loum Tchaouna(84% match) — A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed.
• Loïs Openda(84% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.6 shots/90), wins the physical battle (55% duel success) and draws fouls effectively (3.0/90).
