Playing Style Analysis

Small Sample

A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90) and a prolific assist provider (0.36 assists/90). Note: this profile is based on 746 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Simy by playing style are:

  • Nicolò Cambiaghi(86% match)Cambiaghi is the rare forward who earns his place through relentless service rather than spectacular finishing—a creator wearing a striker's shirt. His 0.27 assists per 90 ranks in Serie A's top 10%, yet his goals return sits stubbornly average, which tells you exactly where his value lives: in the final pass, not the final touch. What the assist numbers don't immediately reveal is his defensive engine—tackles won in the top 10% league-wide is extraordinary for an attacker, suggesting a pressing machine who genuinely disrupts rather than just gestures at it.
  • Henrik Meister(85% match)A Forward. Note: this profile is based on 768 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Federico Bonazzoli(85% match)A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.28 goals/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and draws fouls effectively (2.5/90).
