Thin sample this season. Adam Marusic has played 1 match (18 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 →

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
Right Wing, Middle third — wide or inverted — mostly in the middle third (83% of his 12 passes)
75% completion · 12× in 1/1 matches
↓
PROGRESS
carry or combine up the flank
10.0 prog/90 · 2× in 1/1 matches
↓
DEFEND
1v1 and cover on his side
4 def actions · lost 0% deep · 4× in 1/1 matches
Signature: Receive → Progress → Defend — the only steps proven repeatable this season (3 of 5 in the full pattern). Not enough evidence yet for the rest of the chain below.
Not a pattern: dribble — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); deliver — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.
Team
Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Lazio's output per match with Adam Marusic (1 matches) versus without him (8 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 8 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. What his own defending should move — goals conceded and results — leads; attacking output (largely out of a defender's hands) is shown after, for context. 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 231 full-backs 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.
Inverted full-back69%Overlapping full-back28%
Why Inverted full-back 69%: a weighted blend of build-up 82 (weight 35%) + retention 75 (weight 30%) + progression 32 (weight 25%) + press resistance 46 (weight 10%). 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: 185 cm / 76 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
Adam Marusic is an inverted full-back: 10.0 progressive passes and 0 box entries, delivering 0 key passes. Inverted full-back. [1v1 recovery pace and off-ball overlap timing need tracking.]
Based on 1 matches (18 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as an inverted full-back — best used in a system built around that identity.
His biggest room for growth is progression — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall inverted full-back profile.
