Overview

The player

Who he is and how he compares with his peers.

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.

21

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

259 tracked carries (6.6/90, 100 progressive, 2688m 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)

Emanuele Valeri's signature is the dribble. Does he carry outside (down the left wing) or inside (into the half-space / centre)? Every dribble classified by channel. Season rate: 1.37 dribbles attempted /90.

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 — 39 progressive passes (16% of his progression) at 0.146 xT each. He moves it inside.

His progression is inward: 71% of progressive passes move the ball toward the middle versus 0% going wider — he cuts in rather than holding width.

14% of his passes are cross-field switches — he changes the point of attack often.

Quality behind the volume: 81 line-breaking passes and 92 final-third entries, 38.5 total xT added.

Origin and destination are measured on the same event row — no receiver inference. Receiver identity is not recoverable from this data source.

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 — 18 passes worth 2.84 xT.
Where do his chances come from?
Of 72 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he plays inside from the left wing toward the central in the final third — 27 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 central in the final third: 62% of his 16 touches there are lost (10 times).

06

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 259 ball-carries, his dominant tendency is that he drives along the touchline (73%). He carries from outside into the middle 23 times and out toward the touchline 20 — balanced between cutting in and holding width.
08

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
39 · 15%
Simple pass

No clean link
114 · 44%
Of 259 carries, 2% flow straight into a shot of his own, 15% into a key or progressive pass — a genuine end product to the carry, not just ball retention. 44% have no clean link to a next touch of his own close to where the carry ended.

Crosses & Cutbacks

121 crosses (3.07/90, 44 completed) and 53 cutbacks (1.35/90, 21 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.

Playing-Style Profile

Not raw event counts — football style scores: weighted models scored 0–100 against the 383 central 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: 180 cm / 78 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

Emanuele Valeri is an advanced playmaker (8): 3.4 progressive passes, 1.83 key passes /90, 58 box entries, 0 goals from 1.02 xG. A box-to-box contributor across every phase.

Based on 42 matches (3545 minutes) this season — a reliable read. He profiles as an advanced playmaker (8) — best used in a system built around that identity. His biggest room for growth is box threat — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall advanced playmaker (8) profile.
