Playing Style Analysis

Target Man

A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.31 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (4.2 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.7 dispossessed/90) and prone to committing fouls (4.0/90). The three most similar players to Pape Habib Guèye by playing style are:

  • Idrissa Gueye(90% match)A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.6 shots/90), a regular goalscorer (0.39 goals/90) and strong in aerial duels (4.1 aerials won/90).
  • Cherif Ndiaye(88% match)A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), a proven goalscorer (0.47 goals/90), draws fouls effectively (2.9/90) and top 20% scorer in the league.
  • Mohamed Bayo(85% match)Bayo is the kind of striker who exists almost exclusively to put the ball in the net—and in the Super Lig this season, he's doing exactly that better than 90% of his peers. His 0.63 goals per 90 is the headline, and it's genuinely elite at this level. What makes that number counterintuitive is how little he participates in build-up play: sitting in the bottom 10% for passes per 90, he's essentially invisible until the moment he isn't.
