Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Playing CBBall-PlayingAerial

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (6.5 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (64% duel success), heavily involved in possession (71 passes/90), penetrates with forward passing (10.4 final-third passes/90), central to possession (88 touches/90), dominant in the air (3.8 aerials won/90, 69%) and switches play with precision (7.0 long balls/90, 63% accuracy). The three most similar players to Ryan Flamingo by playing style are:

  • Danilho Doekhi(86% match)A Physical Stopper. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.33 goals/90), commanding in the air (5.3 clearances/90), wins the physical battle (62% duel success), dominant in the air (4.8 aerials won/90, 63%) and uses long balls frequently (7.5/90). Note: this profile is based on 540 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Yarek Gasiorowski(85% match)Gasiorowski occupies a fascinating niche in the Eredivisie: a centre-back who quietly outscores most midfielders, registering goals at a top-10% rate while ostensibly being paid to stop them. That goalscoring output is the counterintuitive headline here — it signals genuine attacking instinct and timing in the box, not just set-piece fortune. His interception numbers (top 20%) confirm sharp positional reading, and a pass accuracy of 89.5% with 64.4 passes per 90 marks him as a composed, high-volume distributor.
  • Tsuyoshi Watanabe(85% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.0 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (61% duel success), heavily involved in possession (62 passes/90), central to possession (75 touches/90), strong in aerial duels (3.2 aerials won/90), uses long balls frequently (5.2/90) and active off the ball (2.1 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
