Thin sample this season. Mattia Felici has played 2 matches (43 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 Half-Space, Attacking third — between the lines — mostly in the attacking third (58% of his 12 passes)
58% completion · 12× in 2/2 matches

Signature: Receive → Turn / Beat Man — the only steps proven repeatable this season (2 of 4 in the full pattern). Not enough evidence yet for the rest of the chain below.
Not a pattern: create — 1× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn); finish — 1× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Cagliari's output per match with Mattia Felici (2 matches) versus without him (7 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 7 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. 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 247 attacking 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.

Why Half-space creator 45%: a weighted blend of creativity 49 (weight 40%) + final-third threat 42 (weight 30%) + dribbling 68 (weight 15%) + box threat 32 (weight 15%). 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: 182 cm / 75 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
Mattia Felici is a half-space creator: 2.09 key passes /90, 0.0 progressive passes, 0 goals from 0.05 xG. A between-the-lines creator. [Off-ball movement into pockets needs tracking.]
Based on 2 matches (43 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.
