Playing Style Analysis

Ball-Playing CBAerial

A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as commanding in the air (5.2 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (2.0 interceptions/90) and meticulous in distribution (89% pass accuracy). The three most similar players to Tayyip Talha Sanuç by playing style are:

  • Davinson Sánchez(86% match)Sánchez has carved out a second act in the Super Lig that quietly reframes what he actually is: not a dominant physical stopper, but a composed, progressive ball-mover who happens to wear a centre-back's shirt. His passing volume sits in the top 5% of defenders in the league, and his delivery into the final third ranks top 20%—numbers that belong to a deep-lying playmaker, not a journeyman defender. The counterintuitive truth here is that his aerial win *rate* looks poor at 30%, yet his raw aerial volume still ranks top 30%; he's simply contesting more duels than most, inflating the denominator.
  • Samet Akaydin(84% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90), commanding in the air (6.8 clearances/90), reads the game exceptionally (2.2 interceptions/90), meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy), uses long balls frequently (6.7/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Mohammed Salisu(84% match)A Ball-Playing CB. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, active in the tackle (2.1 tackles/90), commanding in the air (7.0 clearances/90), meticulous in distribution (88% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (58% duel success), heavily involved in possession (68 passes/90), blocks shots courageously (1.8 blocks/90), central to possession (84 touches/90), dominant in the air (3.2 aerials won/90, 68%), uses long balls frequently (5.9/90) and active off the ball (2.5 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
