Thin sample this season. Everton Pereira has played 3 matches (126 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 →

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: Receive → Screen / Win Ball → Recycle / Progress — the only steps proven repeatable this season (3 of 5 in the full pattern). Not enough evidence yet for the rest of the chain below.
Not a pattern: escape pressure — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); progress central — 2× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

22 defensive actions across the season (15.7/90). 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. 8 proactive ball-wins (5.7/90), tackle success 50%. He defends high, stepping out to intercept — suits a high line.
Team
Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Nice's output per match with Everton Pereira (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.

Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Not raw event counts — football style scores: weighted models scored 0–100 against the 302 defensive mids in the pool (min 180 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.
Tempo controller32%Ball-winning 627%Deep-lying playmaker27%
Why Tempo controller 32%: a weighted blend of build-up 53 (weight 30%) + retention 45 (weight 35%) + press resistance 21 (weight 20%) + progression 15 (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: 181 cm / 64 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 Ligue 1, Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League 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
Everton Pereira is a tempo controller: 92% completion, 2 line-breaks and 0.7 progressive passes /90, resisting pressure with 0% dribble success. A central controller. [Off-ball screening position and scanning need tracking data.]
Based on 3 matches (126 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a tempo controller — best used in a system built around that identity.
His biggest room for growth is progression — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall tempo controller profile.
