Playing Style Analysis

Reading Defender

Beruatto is a high-volume creative engine masquerading as a traditional fullback, operating as a primary playmaker in a league where defenders are typically expected to prioritize safety over vision. While his 81% pass accuracy and middle-of-the-pack volume suggest a standard operator, his underlying output is elite; ranking in the top 5% for key passes and the top 20% for assists, he possesses a rare ability to unlock deep blocks from the flank. The counterintuitive reality of his profile is that despite his 1.23 shots per 90—a figure that usually indicates an overlapping threat—he is more of a stationary architect than a vertical runner. The three most similar players to Pietro Beruatto by playing style are:

  • Joshua Brenet(86% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90). Note: this profile is based on 707 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Abel Bretones(84% match)A Reading Defender. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a capable chance creator (1.4 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.27 assists/90), active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (58% duel success) and active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. Note: this profile is based on 660 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Jeremy Toljan(84% match)A Active Full-Back.
