Small Sample
A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.6 shots/90) and a reliable supplier (0.15 assists/90). Note: this profile is based on 620 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Maximilian Entrup by playing style are:
- Farid Alfa-Ruprecht(84% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.7 key passes/90) and a regular goalscorer (0.24 goals/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (2.1 dispossessed/90).
- Phillip Tietz(82% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.5 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.30 goals/90), a reliable supplier (0.15 assists/90) and strong in aerial duels (4.6 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.7 dispossessed/90).
- Samuel Essende(81% match) — Essende is the Bundesliga’s most industrious physical anomaly, a Tier C striker who operates with the progressive vision of a deep-lying playmaker and the shot volume of a Golden Boot contender. Averaging 3.81 shots per 90, he sits in the league’s elite top 10%, yet his true value lies in his startling ability to move the needle from deep; his 2.69 passes into the final third place him in the top decile of all forwards. The counterintuitive insight here is that despite his 3.12 aerial wins per 90—a top 30% figure—he is less a traditional target man and more a high-value ball-winner, ranking in the top 20% for tackles won.
