Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Playing CBSmall Sample

Kamara is a technical outlier trapped in a physical profile that currently lacks the bite required for elite-level Ligue 1 defending. While his 88.5% pass accuracy suggests a composure that ranks him well above the league average for ball-playing center-halves, that silkiness is undermined by a glaring lack of steel in one-on-one scenarios. To put it bluntly, he is a turnstile in the air, languishing in the bottom 10% for aerial duels won, and his ground duel success rate is equally concerning. The three most similar players to Noham Kamara by playing style are:

  • Clément Akpa(87% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, commanding in the air (4.3 clearances/90), wins the physical battle (60% duel success), penetrates with forward passing (8.4 final-third passes/90), uses long balls frequently (10.2/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Moïse Bombito (86% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (4.7 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (90% pass accuracy) and switches play with precision (5.0 long balls/90, 63% accuracy).
  • Arsène Kouassi(85% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.43 assists/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 847 minutes of playing time this season.
