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: Link → Finish — 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: receive / move — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); convert — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.
23 defensive actions across the season (11.6/90). 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. 7 proactive ball-wins (3.5/90), tackle success 100%. He defends high, stepping out to intercept — suits a high line.
Defensive work in the attacking half
Ball-wins in the attacking half only (own half vs. attacking half, a simple 2-way split, not the usual thirds) — the clearest single signal of how much he presses and recovers the ball high up the pitch.

Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Paco Esteban is a striker: 0 goals from 0.46 xG (-0.46 vs expected), 4 shots, 0 box entries. Under-performing his chances. [Off-ball runs, aerials and hold-up under contact need tracking/aerial data.]
Based on 5 matches (178 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a striker — best used in a system built around that identity.
