Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Playing CBBall-PlayingAerial

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (4.3 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (63% duel success), heavily involved in possession (64 passes/90), central to possession (74 touches/90) and uses long balls frequently (8.5/90). The three most similar players to Nemanja Stojic by playing style are:

  • Anel Ahmedhodzic(86% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.0 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.6 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (60% duel success), central to possession (72 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Nermin Zolotić(85% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (71% duel success) and uses long balls frequently (7.2/90). Note: this profile is based on 627 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Veljko Milosavljevic(85% match)Milosavljevic is the kind of defender who wins games through the pass rather than the tackle—a ball-playing centre-back whose value lives in the build-up phase, not the trenches. His passes into the final third rank in the top 20% of Premier League defenders, and his volume of 46.6 passes per 90 places him above most peers in possession-based systems. Here's the counterintuitive part: his aerial win *rate* sits below average, yet his aerial *volume* lands in the top 30%—he's contesting more duels than most, just not winning them cleanly.
