Playing Style Analysis

A Defender. Statistically, he stands out as wins the physical battle (60% duel success). Note: this profile is based on 632 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Pedro Lima by playing style are:

• 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. Here's the counterintuitive read: his low press intensity isn't laziness, it's positioning intelligence; he intercepts above average precisely because he reads the game rather than chasing it.
• Facundo Medina(85% match) — A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, reads the game exceptionally (2.1 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (94% pass accuracy), heavily involved in possession (77 passes/90), penetrates with forward passing (10.8 final-third passes/90), central to possession (91 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.8 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 467 minutes of playing time this season.
• Miro Muheim(85% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.9 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.47 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.9 interceptions/90), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), penetrates with forward passing (11.8 final-third passes/90), central to possession (78 touches/90), uses long balls frequently (7.6/90) and active off the ball (3.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 571 minutes of playing time this season.
