Playing Style Analysis

A Metronome. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.19 assists/90), an aggressive ball-winner (4.0 tackles/90), reads the game exceptionally (1.6 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (69% duel success), wins the ball cleanly (2.7 successful tackles/90), central to possession (74 touches/90), a high-intensity presser (press score 3.8/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up and top 10% tackler in the league. The three most similar players to Sergi Altimira by playing style are:

• Mikel Jauregizar(86% match) — A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), heavily involved in play (58 touches/90) and a high-intensity presser (press score 3.0/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up.
• André Almeida(87% match) — A Creator. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), meticulous in distribution (91% pass accuracy), heavily involved in play (69 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.0/90) and active off the ball (2.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. However, he loses possession under pressure (1.9 dispossessed/90).
• Beñat Turrientes(86% match) — Turrientes is the kind of midfielder who wins the ball like a top-five defender but delivers it like a top-ten creator—a genuinely rare combination in La Liga's midfield pool. His tackles won per 90 place him in the top 5% of the division, yet this isn't a destroyer content to recycle possession; his assists rate sits in the top 10%, and he's threading passes into the final third at an above-average clip. The counterintuitive read here is that his pass accuracy looks merely average, but that's partly the ambition of his distribution—he's attempting progressive, risk-carrying passes rather than sideways safety balls.
