Overview

The player

Who he is and how he compares with his peers.

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
in the first line of build-up — mostly in the defensive third (61% of his 23 passes)
96% completion · 23× in 3/3 matches
Signature: Only Receive shows a proven, repeatable pattern this season — too little evidence yet (3 matches loaded) for a fuller signature chain.
Not a pattern: carry out — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); break a line — 2× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn); switch play — 1× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn); progress — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

How & where does he defend?

21 defensive actions across the season (21.7/90). 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.

Impact on the Team

Cagliari's output per match with Raphael Kofler (3 matches) versus without him (5 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 5 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.

Summary

Raphael Kofler is a centre-back: 96% pass completion, 2 line-breaking passes and 2.1 progressive passes /90. A build-and-progress centre-back whose value is in beating the first line with the pass, not in raw defensive volume. [Aerial duels, marking, line-height and 1v1 recovery need aerial-event + tracking data, absent here.]

Based on 3 matches (87 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a centre-back — best used in a system built around that identity.
