Thin sample this season. Alejandro Rego has played 3 matches (76 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
drop between the centre-backs — mostly in the middle third (75% of his 48 passes)
79% completion · 48× in 3/3 matches
↓
PROGRESS CENTRAL
break a line through the middle
5.9 prog/90 · 5× in 3/3 matches
↓
SCREEN / WIN BALL
protect the back four
4.7 ball-wins/90 · 4× in 3/3 matches
↓
RECYCLE / PROGRESS
keep it ticking, feed the final third
3.6 f3-entries/90 · 3× in 2/3 matches
Signature: Receive → Progress Central → Screen / Win Ball → Recycle / Progress — the only steps proven repeatable this season (4 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) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

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 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 middle third: 38% of his 8 touches there are lost (3 times).
Team
Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Athletic Club's output per match with Alejandro Rego (3 matches) versus without him (6 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 6 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 258 defensive 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.

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: 192 cm / 79 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 La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, 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
Alejandro Rego is a ball-winning 6: 79% completion, 5 line-breaks and 5.9 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 (76 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a ball-winning 6 — 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 ball-winning 6 profile.
