Playing Style Analysis

Solid Defender

Trauco is a quintessential "luxury" full-back whose boots possess a creative spark that his defensive instincts often fail to match. While he operates in a Tier C environment, his offensive output is undeniably elite for a defender; sitting in the top 20% for both goals and shots per 90, he functions more like a wide playmaker than a traditional guardian of the flank. However, the data reveals a player who struggles when the ball isn't at his feet. The three most similar players to Miguel Trauco by playing style are:

  • Andrei Rațiu(84% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), central to possession (71 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Jeremy Toljan(83% match)A Active Full-Back.
  • Adrià Pedrosa(83% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.9 key passes/90), an aggressive ball-winner (2.9 tackles/90), active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league. Note: this profile is based on 874 minutes of playing time this season.
