Opoku is the quintessential "safety-first" distributor trapped in a low-tier Super Lig side, offering a polished technical floor that belies his modest surroundings. Opoku is the quintessential "safety-first" distributor trapped in a low-tier Super Lig side, offering a polished technical floor that belies his modest surroundings. While his 90.4% pass accuracy places him in the league’s elite top 20%, don't mistake him for a deep-lying playmaker; his average volume of 41.6 passes per game suggests a player who prioritizes ball retention over high-risk verticality.
