Where Does He Operate? — Every Zone
Every on-ball touch (pass, dribble, shot) binned into a 6×3 grid — raw counts of where Iñaki Williams actually gets on the ball. Hover any zone for its breakdown by action type, its share of all touches, and the exact coordinate range it covers.
Filter:
own goal left, attacking → · brighter + higher number = more touches
Passes only — completed vs incomplete, by zone
Same zone grid, restricted to passes so completed/incomplete and match filters actually mean something — a shot or a dribble has no "completed" in the pass sense.

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 →
Where do his chances come from?
Of 4 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he switches it out from the left hs to the left wing, advancing it forward in the middle third — 1 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 half-space in the middle third: 67% of his 9 touches there are lost (6 times).
58 defensive actions across the season (8.9/90). Where he wins the ball, and how — the core question for a defender. Aerial duels are not recorded for this competition, so aerial dominance is not measured here.

Vision AI A front-foot / high defender. He wins the ball mainly by stepping in — tackles, interceptions & recoveries outweigh clearances. 19 proactive ball-wins (2.9/90), tackle success 100%. He defends high, stepping out to intercept — suits a high line.
Defensive work in the attacking half
Ball-wins in the attacking half only (own half vs. attacking half, a simple 2-way split, not the usual thirds) — the clearest single signal of how much he presses and recovers the ball high up the pitch.

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.

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 / 81 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 La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Premier League and Serie A, 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
Iñaki Williams is an advanced playmaker (8): 0.61 key passes /90, 0.8 progressive passes, 2 goals from 3.00 xG. A between-the-lines creator. [Off-ball movement into pockets needs tracking.]
Based on 9 matches (586 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as an advanced playmaker (8) — best used in a system built around that identity.
His biggest room for growth is final-third threat — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall advanced playmaker (8) profile.
