Pulling current player details into TactiQ.
TactiQ Score, per-90 performance stats, and multi-season form — with direct routes into compare and rankings.

A defensive midfielder in the Premier League posting 2.52 key passes/90 and 0.37 big chances created/90 — creative output that sits well above the baseline for this role. With a TQ Score of 87.92, this player ranks in the elite tier, a clear standout driven by an unusually high creative ceiling for a position typically defined by defensive work. The 7.27 average match rating across 27 appearances (2,214 minutes) reflects consistent quality over a meaningful sample.
The TQ Score of 87.92 is primarily driven by the creative production metrics — 2.52 key passes/90 and 0.37 big chances created/90 are the standout figures that push this player into the elite band. The defensive engagement (2.4 tackles/90, 5.77 duels won/90) is solid but secondary; it is the rare combination of defensive volume and top-tier creation that anchors the score.
Form score of 85.33 sits 2.6 points below the TQ Score of 87.92 — within the ±5 stable band, indicating no meaningful decline. The player is holding close to their season-long level with no red flags in recent output.
Comparable TQ scores (87.92 vs 87.79) reflect a similar profile of a creative-leaning defensive midfielder; Garner operates with a slightly lower physical duel volume, making this player the more defensively active of the two.

Both profile as progressive, creative defensive midfielders with strong key pass output; Xhaka's career arc shows a higher ceiling in terms of positional authority and set-piece influence, which this player has yet to match.
Zubimendi (83.78) shares the defensive-midfielder-with-creation profile but scores lower overall; the key distinction is that this player's goals and big chances created metrics give a more direct offensive contribution than Zubimendi's typically deeper, more conservative role.
2.52 key passes/90 and 0.37 big chances created/90 are well above baseline for a defensive midfielder in the Premier League — this is a level of creation more typical of attacking midfielders.
0.2 goals/90 and 0.12 assists/90 add a direct attacking dimension rarely seen from this role bucket, with only 0.04 big chances missed/90 indicating high efficiency when chances arrive.
2.4 tackles/90 combined with 5.77 duels won/90 and 1.99 clearances/90 confirm active, consistent defensive participation across 27 Premier League matches.
A 53% duel success rate across 5.77 duels won/90 is moderate for a defensive midfielder — in a role where winning physical battles is central, this leaves room to improve and is the clearest gap relative to elite peers at this position.
1.79 aerials won/90 is adequate but not dominant — for a defensive midfielder in the Premier League, this sits below the threshold expected of a player who also contributes 2.4 tackles/90, and could be a vulnerability against physically imposing opponents.
A 0–100 measure of overall quality. Combines statistical output with league difficulty, multi-season weighting, and a consistency factor. Target range for strong players: 70–85.
Weighted toward recent matches. Can diverge from the TactiQ Score when current form is meaningfully stronger or weaker than the multi-season average.
How much evidence supports this score. Lower confidence means thinner data — fewer seasons, fewer appearances, or gaps in coverage. A provisional score is real signal with appropriate caveats.
TactiQ Scores are deterministic — given the same evidence, they produce the same output. The evidence packet system, confidence labels, and publication gate are all explained in full.
