Best Alternatives to Marquinhos

Playing Style Analysis

Marquinhos is the rare Serie B forward who can finish, press, and pick a pass at elite level simultaneously—a combination that makes him genuinely difficult to categorise and even harder to ignore. His 0.58 goals per 90 places him in the top 5% of attackers in this division, yet the more revealing number is his pressing intensity, also top 5%—he doesn't just score, he hunts. His 73.9% pass accuracy, exceptional for a forward, hints at a player who stays connected to build-up rather than isolating himself in the box. The three closest DNA matches to Marquinhos:

• Savinho(85% match) — A Link-up Striker. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed.
• Vitinha(84% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.5 shots/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.8/90).
• Nicolò Cambiaghi(84% match) — Cambiaghi is the rare forward who earns his place through relentless service rather than spectacular finishing—a creator wearing a striker's shirt. His 0.27 assists per 90 ranks in Serie A's top 10%, yet his goals return sits stubbornly average, which tells you exactly where his value lives: in the final pass, not the final touch.
