Thin sample this season. Lorenzo Pellegrini has played 2 matches (77 min) so far, so sections that need a bigger sample to say anything reliable are not shown here — they are missing on purpose, not broken. See all seasons combined →
01
What Patterns Define Him?
His repeatable signature. A step only appears if its reliability score (sample size × match coverage) reaches at least Medium confidence — pattern mining, not anecdotes.
RECEIVE
Left Wing, Middle third — between the lines — mostly in the middle third (59% of his 44 passes)
75% completion · 44× in 2/2 matches

CREATE

Signature: Receive → Turn / Beat Man → Create — the only steps proven repeatable this season (3 of 4 in the full pattern). Not enough evidence yet for the rest of the chain below.
Not a pattern: finish — 2× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.
In possession

What he does with the ball: build-up, progression, creation, carrying and finishing.
18 tracked carries (21.0/90, 3 progressive, 182m total) — the ball moving with his touches, a different signal from dribbles below (beating an opponent 1v1). this counts every touch-carry, not just his dribble attempts below — a fuller picture of how much of his ball-carrying is control-and-move rather than beating a man.

Dribbles (1v1s)
Only 2 dribbles attempted this season — too little volume to map a location pattern.

How does he create chances?
3 key passes (3.51/90), 0 of them assists — where his chance creation specifically comes from, 18 zones (6×3), showing his share of key passes originating there.

Tactical patterns — how his football actually looks
Three clustered sequence diagrams from his own event data — his three busiest routes: the way he progresses, the pattern behind his chances, and where a turnover turns dangerous.
own goal left, attacking →
How does he progress the ball forward?
His most common route for progressing play: he plays straight through the left wing, advancing it forward in the middle third — 2 passes worth 0.40 xT.
Where do his chances come from?
Of 3 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he plays inside from the left wing toward the central in the final third — 2 times. The receiver isn't identifiable in this data, only where the pass started and ended.
Where does he lose the ball most?
This is a RATE, not a raw count — the share of his touches in each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone he simply plays in more often doesn't automatically look riskier. His weakest zone is the left wing in the final third: 38% of his 8 touches there are lost (3 times).

Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Roma's output per match with Lorenzo Pellegrini (2 matches) versus without him (7 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 7 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. A proper on-off model needs many more minutes.

Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Not raw event counts — football style scores: weighted models scored 0–100 against the 247 attacking mids in the pool (min 450 min). This is what separates players who post similar numbers but play differently. Proxy dimensions are inferred from on-ball data; true off-ball running / under-pressure context is not measured.

Why Advanced playmaker (8) 79%: a weighted blend of creativity 66 (weight 35%) + final-third threat 88 (weight 25%) + progression 81 (weight 25%) + box threat 74 (weight 15%). The score reflects how distinctively his profile SHAPE matches this archetype vs his peers.

Similar Players — in style space
Closest comparables measured on the style scores above, within the same position family — so it separates how players are alike, not just how much they touch the ball. Each line explains the shared strength and the divergent mechanism. A light physical-profile term (height / weight; this player: 186 cm / 77 kg) is included at a quarter of one style axis's weight — enough to break ties between stylistic twins, not to override style.Scope: pooled across the Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Premier League, percentiled within each player's own league before comparing — a match from another league is marked with its league name.
Style, not quality:a high match here means two players tend to produce the ball in similar ways — it is not a ranking, a scouting recommendation, or a claim that they are equally good.

Summary
Lorenzo Pellegrini is an advanced playmaker (8) / half-space creator: 3.51 key passes /90, 3.5 progressive passes, 0 goals from 0.11 xG. A between-the-lines creator. [Off-ball movement into pockets needs tracking.]
Based on 2 matches (77 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as an advanced playmaker (8) / half-space creator — best used in a system built around that identity.
His biggest room for growth is creativity — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall advanced playmaker (8) profile.
