Lainer occupies a rare space in the Austrian Bundesliga: a defender whose most dangerous contribution isn't stopping attacks but starting them. His key pass rate of 1.54 per 90 minutes places him in the top 5% among defenders in the league—a number that belongs on a creative midfielder's résumé, not a right back's. His 71.4% duel win rate further confirms he isn't sacrificing defensive solidity for that attacking output.
