Percentile rank among Premier League defenders (n=689) · Per 90 min · RT Intelligence™
Saliba has quietly become the most complete ball-playing centre-back in the Premier League—a defender who makes the game look administrative. Saliba has quietly become the most complete ball-playing centre-back in the Premier League—a defender who makes the game look administrative. His 92.7% pass accuracy and 76 passes per 90 place him in the top 5% of defenders in the division, yet the more revealing figure is his 6.81 passes into the final third per 90, putting him in the top 20%—this isn't a man simply recycling possession, he's actively driving attacks from deep.
