Playing Style Analysis

Box-to-Box

A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.16 assists/90) and active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90). The three most similar players to Roberto Olabe by playing style are:

  • Beni Mukendi(86% match)A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (62% duel success), heavily involved in play (64 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.2/90) and a high-intensity presser (press score 3.1/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up.
  • Victor Froholdt(85% match)A Balanced Midfielder. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.23 assists/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and active off the ball (2.2 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Leandro Barreiro(84% match)Barreiro is the rare midfielder who wins headers like a centre-back but still finds pockets to create like a number ten. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of Liga Portugal midfielders—a genuinely freakish number for someone operating in central midfield rather than set-piece territory—and it quietly underpins his value in transition, winning second balls that never show up in highlight reels. His 0.22 assists per 90 and near-1 key pass per 90 suggest a player with real creative intent, not just a recycler.
