Best Alternatives to Omar Richards

Playing Style Analysis

A Defender. Statistically, he stands out as reads the game exceptionally (1.7 interceptions/90), wins the physical battle (62% duel success) and active off the ball (2.4 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 703 minutes of playing time this season. The three closest DNA matches to Omar Richards:

• Nuno Santos(86% match) — Santos is the rare defender who creates more danger than most attackers in Liga Portugal—his 3.07 key passes per 90 and 2.05 shots per 90 both land in the top 5% of all defenders in the division, numbers that belong on a winger's profile, not a backline one. His 100% duel win rate sounds like a small-sample anomaly—and with only 352 minutes, it partly is—but his 90.9% pass accuracy suggests genuine technical quality rather than a player simply avoiding contact.
• Samuel Dahl(84% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), an aggressive ball-winner (2.8 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (57% duel success), central to possession (72 touches/90), active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league.
• Leonardo Lelo(84% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.9 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.20 assists/90), central to possession (78 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
