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

A multi-dimensional defensive midfielder in the Premier League whose 87.79 TQ Score places him in the elite tier — a clear standout contribution above typical starters. What separates him most is creation output that significantly exceeds the defensive midfield baseline: 1.43 key passes/90 and 0.34 big chances created/90 sit alongside a 3.26 tackles/90 defensive workload, making him genuinely two-way. His 7.32 average rating across 35 appearances (3,144 minutes) reflects sustained, not sporadic, quality.
The TQ Score of 87.79 is driven by the combination of high defensive volume and above-role creation output, validated by a score confidence of 0.96 — one of the most reliable readings on the platform. The consensus was unanimous across all three specialist agents, with individual scores of 68, 78, and 72 converging on a strong elite-tier profile.
Form score of 92.69 sits 4.9 points above the TQ Score of 87.79 — just inside the stable threshold but trending toward an upward trajectory. The risk-form agent flags this as an improving profile, with no volatility or sample-size concerns at 0.96 confidence.
Near-identical TQ Score (87.92 vs 87.79) and a shared profile of defensive midfield volume with progressive contribution; Stach operates in a different league context, which may account for subtle differences in creation load.

Both profile as two-way defensive midfielders with meaningful creation output for the role (86.63 TQ); Xhaka carries a more pronounced ball-progression identity, whereas this player's edge is in tackle and duel volume.
Zubimendi (83.78 TQ) is a comparable defensive midfielder archetype with strong positional discipline; this player scores higher and shows greater creation output, while Zubimendi is typically regarded as the cleaner defensive anchor.
3.26 tackles/90 and 2.35 clearances/90 represent consistent defensive engagement across 35 Premier League appearances. A 61% duel success rate from 5.44 duels won/90 confirms effectiveness, not just volume.
1.43 key passes/90 and 0.34 big chances created/90 are notably above typical defensive midfielder baselines, complemented by 0.20 assists/90 — a meaningful creative contribution from deep.
0.74 aerials won/90 is a genuine gap for a defensive midfielder who will routinely face set-piece and long-ball situations. This limits his ability to act as a physical shield in the air.
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.
