Small Sample
A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90) and a reliable supplier (0.23 assists/90). Note: this profile is based on 771 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Welton by playing style are:
- Tom Watson(82% match) — A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.6 shots/90) and a regular goalscorer (0.29 goals/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (2.0 dispossessed/90).
- Milot Rashica(81% match) — Rashica has evolved from a purebred transitional speedster into a blue-collar creative engine who defies the typical "luxury" winger archetype. While his 72% pass accuracy suggests a lack of refinement, the data reveals a high-risk, high-reward playmaker who sits in the top 5% of the Super Lig for key passes (2.11/90) and assists (0.32/90). The counterintuitive insight here is his defensive ferocity; despite being an attacker, he ranks in the top 5% for both ground duel win rate (83.3%) and tackles won, functioning more like a defensive end in a high-pressing system than a traditional wide man.
- Pedro Neto(80% match) — A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.8 key passes/90) and meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy).
