Playing Style Analysis

Inside ForwardDribblerSmall Sample

A Inside Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.7 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.37 goals/90), a prolific assist provider (0.37 assists/90), a dynamic dribbler (3.1/90), wins the physical battle (57% duel success), creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.74 big chances/90) and draws fouls effectively (3.1/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (2.4 dispossessed/90). The three most similar players to Yeferson Soteldo  by playing style are:

  • Riccardo Sottil(84% match)A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.7 key passes/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.3/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.9 dispossessed/90).
  • Cucho Hernández(82% match)A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (3.2 shots/90) and a proven goalscorer (0.44 goals/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.7 dispossessed/90).
  • Federico Bernardeschi(82% match)Bernardeschi remains the quintessential Italian "fantasista" trapped in an era of rigid systems, operating as a high-volume creative hub for a struggling Tier C side. While his goal output is merely pedestrian, his underlying metrics reveal a playmaker of elite continental caliber; he ranks in the top 5% of the league for key passes, progressive balls, and successful dribbles. This isn't just a winger hugging the touchline; his 39.7 passes per 90 and exceptional interception rate suggest a player who dictates the tempo and disrupts opposition buildup with top-tier defensive intensity.
