Thin sample this season. Amad Diallo has played 3 matches (229 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
Right Wing, Attacking third — mostly in the attacking third (53% of his 70 passes)
62% of touches wide right · 70× in 3/3 matches
↓
CARRY / BEAT MAN
dribble past the full-back, cut inside
38% won · 8× in 3/3 matches
↓
PROGRESS
drive the ball into the final third
0.8 progressive · 1.2 f3/90 · 2× in 2/3 matches

CREATE / FINISH
cut-back or shot from inside
0.39 key passes /90 · 0 goals · 6× in 1/3 matches
Signature: receive wide right → beat the full-back → carry into the left-foot channel → deliver or shoot. Stop the 1v1 on the right and you starve the chain.

What he does with the ball: build-up, progression, creation, carrying and finishing.
27 tracked carries (10.6/90, 2 progressive, 230m 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)
Amad Diallo's signature is the dribble. Does he carry outside (down the right wing) or inside (into the half-space / centre)? Every dribble classified by channel. Season rate: 3.14 dribbles attempted /90.

Where does he become vulnerable?
16 possessions lost. Directness has a cost — the question is where. Attacking-third losses are cheap; deep ones are dangerous.

06
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 1 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he plays straight through the right hs in the final 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 final third: 25% of his 16 touches there are lost (4 times).
04
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 27 ball-carries, his dominant tendency is that he carries the ball inside off the flank (37%). He carries from outside into the middle 10 times and out toward the touchline 1 — a genuine inside forward who cuts in with the ball.
05
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
5 · 19%
Progressive / key pass
5 · 19%
Simple pass
12 · 44%
No clean link
5 · 19%
Of 27 carries, 19% flow straight into a shot of his own, 19% into a key or progressive pass — a genuine end product to the carry, not just ball retention. 19% have no clean link to a next touch of his own close to where the carry ended.
26 defensive actions across the season (10.2/90). 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.

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 180 wingers 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: 173 cm / 72 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 Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 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
Amad Diallo is a wide, outside-first right carrier: 62% of dribbles in the wing lane, 63% of passes from wide — but 56% land inside. 0.8 progressive passes and 0.39 key passes /90 plus 0 goals from 0.26 xG. A carry-and-deliver threat.
Based on 3 matches (229 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a half-space creator — 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 half-space creator profile.
