Thin sample this season. Mezian Mesloub has played 4 matches (145 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
Right Wing, Middle third — mostly in the middle third (51% of his 86 passes)
78% completion · 86× in 4/4 matches

PROGRESS

CREATE / FINISH
cut-back or shot from inside
1.24 key passes /90 · 0 goals · 5× in 2/4 matches
Signature: Receive → Progress → Create / Finish — the only steps proven repeatable this season (3 of 4 in the full pattern). Not enough evidence yet for the rest of the chain below.
Not a pattern: arrive — 1× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.
In possession
In possession
What he does with the ball: build-up, progression, creation, carrying and finishing.
29 tracked carries (18.0/90, 7 progressive, 334m total) — the ball moving with his touches, a different signal from dribbles below (beating an opponent 1v1). this counts every touch-carry, not just his dribble attempts below — a fuller picture of how much of his ball-carrying is control-and-move rather than beating a man.

02
How does he create chances?
2 key passes (1.24/90), 0 of them assists — where his chance creation specifically comes from, 18 zones (6×3), showing his share of key passes originating there.

07
Where does he become vulnerable?
25 possessions lost. Directness has a cost — the question is where. Attacking-third losses are cheap; deep ones are dangerous.

Vision AI 40% of losses are in the attacking third — a notable share happen deeper, which invites transitions.
Mistake danger (proxy): 5.18 danger-index/90 · 0.334 avg/turnover. Weights each loss by threat conceded at that location. True xT-conceded needs the opponent possession model; positional proxy.
03
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 →
How does he progress the ball forward?
His most common route for progressing play: he plays straight through the right wing, advancing it forward in the middle third — 2 passes worth 0.24 xT.
Where do his chances come from?
Of 2 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he plays straight through the right wing in the final third — 1 times. The receiver isn't identifiable in this data, only where the pass started and ended.
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 final third: 33% of his 15 touches there are lost (5 times).
04
Does he carry inside or outside — his ball-carries across the pitch
Four arrows, one per movement class of his ball-carries: outside→inside (cutting in with the ball), inside→outside (carrying wide), outside→outside (down the touchline) and inside→inside (through the middle). Each count is measured from the carry's real start and end coordinates.
own goal left, attacking →
Across 29 ball-carries, his dominant tendency is that he carries the ball inside off the flank (45%). He carries from outside into the middle 13 times and out toward the touchline 2 — a genuine inside forward who cuts in with the ball.
06
What happens right after he carries the ball
Every carry's end point matched against his own very next pass or shot in the same match, when one starts almost exactly there — the direct continuation of that touch, not a separate stat. “No clean link” means no pass or shot of his own started close enough to count (often the carry ended in a tackle or a loss); it isn't a claim about exactly what happened, only that nothing traceable followed.
Shot
1 · 3%
Progressive / key pass
4 · 14%
Simple pass
19 · 66%
No clean link
5 · 17%
Of 29 carries, 3% flow straight into a shot of his own, 14% into a key or progressive pass — a genuine end product to the carry, not just ball retention. 17% have no clean link to a next touch of his own close to where the carry ended.
18 defensive actions across the season (11.2/90). 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.
