His repeatable signature. A step only appears if its reliability score (sample size × match coverage) reaches at least Medium confidence — pattern mining, not anecdotes.
Signature: Only Link shows a proven, repeatable pattern this season — too little evidence yet (4 matches loaded) for a fuller signature chain.
Not a pattern: receive / move — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); finish — 2× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn); convert — 1× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.
16 defensive actions across the season (10.7/90). 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. 2 proactive ball-wins (1.3/90), tackle success 0%. 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 and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Ellis Simms is a striker: 1 goals from 0.30 xG (+0.70 vs expected), 2 shots, 0 box entries. A clinical finisher. [Off-ball runs, aerials and hold-up under contact need tracking/aerial data.]
Based on 4 matches (134 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a striker — best used in a system built around that identity.
