attacking mid radar — percentile vs his peers

hierarchical score 59/100

A position-aware radar: these 12 axes are the metrics that matter for a attacking mid. Each axis is his percentile among the 38 attacking mids in the league (min 450 min). (padj) = possession-adjusted: defensive volumes are scaled by how much defending his team actually does, so opportunity is not confused with ability.

Evidence-based evaluation

Same underlying data, read by Vision AI: several independent dimensions with the specific evidence behind each, not one number.

Chance Creation: solid (65/100 vs role peers), driven by box entries/90 (well above peer average, 79th percentile).
Progression Value: strong (80/100 vs role peers), driven by progressive passes/90 (well above peer average, 92nd percentile).
Decision Quality: below-average (32/100 vs role peers), driven by pass completion vs difficulty-adjusted expectation (pts) (below peer average, 32nd percentile).
Finishing: solid (67/100 vs role peers), driven by xG/90 (well above peer average, 87th percentile).
Possession Value: average (45/100 vs role peers), driven by location-weighted turnover cost/90 (below peer average, 10th percentile). Times dispossessed/90 is well controlled (100th percentile).

Where is he influential — vs where is he merely present?

Red fill = raw touch territory. Gold rings = zones where his influence (xT added, progression, line-breaks, key passes) outweighs how often he's actually there — one combined map instead of two separate maps to compare by eye. Red with no ring: present but not dangerous. A ring on faint red: rare touches, outsized impact.

How dangerous are his carries?

Real ball-carries

179 tracked carries (10.8/90, 39 progressive, 1795m 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.

How does he build & move the ball?

How he moves the ball — his 4 busiest progression routes, not where every pass starts and ends separately. Arrow width = how often, colour = xT gained, dashed = switch of play. The full breakdown is in the lane matrix below.

Rows normalised: each row sums to 100% of that lane's completed passes. Grey number = passes from that lane.

Primary route: the left wing in the final third → the left half-space in the final third — 19 progressive passes (18% of his progression) at 0.106 xT each. He moves it inside.

His progression is inward: 81% of progressive passes move the ball toward the middle versus 4% going wider — he cuts in rather than holding width.

9% of his passes are cross-field switches — he changes the point of attack often.

Quality behind the volume: 46 line-breaking passes and 55 final-third entries, 10.1 total xT added.

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 — 4 passes worth 0.60 xT.
Where do his chances come from?
Of 28 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he plays inside from the right wing toward the central in the final third — 8 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 right wing in the final third: 41% of his 64 touches there are lost (26 times).

05

Does he carry inside or outside — his ball-carries across the pitch

Four arrows, one per movement class of his ball-carries: outside→inside (cutting in with the ball), inside→outside (carrying wide), outside→outside (down the touchline) and inside→inside (through the middle). Each count is measured from the carry's real start and end coordinates.

own goal left, attacking →
Across 179 ball-carries, his dominant tendency is that he drives along the touchline (43%). He carries from outside into the middle 26 times and out toward the touchline 21 — balanced between cutting in and holding width.
06

What happens right after he carries the ball

Every carry's end point matched against his own very next pass or shot in the same match, when one starts almost exactly there — the direct continuation of that touch, not a separate stat. “No clean link” means no pass or shot of his own started close enough to count (often the carry ended in a tackle or a loss); it isn't a claim about exactly what happened, only that nothing traceable followed.

Shot

Progressive / key pass

Of 179 carries, 1% flow straight into a shot of his own, 12% into a key or progressive pass — a genuine end product to the carry, not just ball retention. 16% have no clean link to a next touch of his own close to where the carry ended.
11

Crosses & Cutbacks

33 crosses (1.99/90, 9 completed) and 9 cutbacks (0.54/90, 2 completed) — two separate wide-delivery patterns into the box, each its own map with a completed/failed filter. Neither is a tagged event, so both are inferred from pass geometry — the intended end point of a failed attempt is still real data (an interception doesn’t erase where the ball was aimed): a cross is a pass aimed into the box starting from a wide channel; a cutback starts almost on the byline but is squared back rather than driven forward, aimed centrally around the box. The completed-cross count was checked against this platform’s own real match-level cross totals and lands within about 1 cross of the true count.

Not raw event counts — football style scores: weighted models scored 0–100 against the 247 attacking mids in the pool (min 450 min).

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: 1.69 key passes /90, 2.3 progressive passes, 4 goals from 4.52 xG. A between-the-lines creator. [Off-ball movement into pockets needs tracking.]

Based on 24 matches (1492 minutes) — a reasonable read, still building toward a full-season sample. 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.
