TactiQ Score, per-90 performance stats, and multi-season form — with direct routes into compare and rankings.
A well-rounded defensive midfielder in the Premier League whose TQ Score of 86.63 places him in the elite tier — a clear standout at his position. What separates him is the combination of defensive solidity and above-baseline creation: 1.12 key passes/90 and 0.26 big chances created/90 are notably high for the role, while 1.65 tackles/90 and 4.93 duels won/90 at a 60% success rate anchor his defensive function. Across 2,721 minutes this season, the output has been consistent and high-confidence (0.96).
The 86.63 TQ Score is driven primarily by the rare dual contribution of defensive reliability and creative output that exceeds typical defensive midfielder baselines — 0.20 assists/90 and 1.12 key passes/90 alongside 2.68 clearances/90 and 1.82 aerials won/90. No single sub-score is available in granular form, but the per-90 profile across 32 matches at 0.96 confidence supports the elite-tier placement.
Form score of 81.9 sits 4.7 points below the TQ Score of 86.63 — within the stable range but nudging toward a soft decline. No alarm, but recent output has not fully matched the season-long baseline.
Stach (TQ 87.92) is the closest match — a defensive midfielder who combines defensive volume with above-average distribution; he edges ahead on overall TQ Score but the profiles are structurally very similar.
