See Full Verdict + Share Card →Ely is a defensive fire-extinguisher whose statistical profile presents a fascinating paradox of pure ground-level dominance and surprising aerial fragility. While his 81.3% pass accuracy is nothing to write home about in a league that increasingly demands ball-playing center-halves, he compensates by being an absolute wall in 1v1 situations, ranking in the top 5% of Serie A for duel win rate. The counterintuitive insight here lies in his physical profile: despite his height, he languishes in the bottom 10% for aerial duels won, yet his 0.92 shots per 90 suggest he is far more dangerous in the opposition box than his own when the ball is in the air.
