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

A reliable, high-volume defensive midfielder in the Premier League sitting at 82.8 on the TactiQ scale — above average for a typical starter but without a single elite sub-score to separate him from the tier. His most distinctive quality is defensive output volume: 1.74 tackles/90 and 4.77 duels won/90 across 2,847 minutes give this profile strong sample credibility (0.96 confidence). Attacking contribution of 0.16 goals/90 and 0.85 key passes/90 sits above baseline for the role, rounding out a well-balanced but not dominant profile.
The TactiQ Score of 82.8 is driven primarily by consistent defensive volume and above-baseline attacking contribution for a defensive midfielder, validated across 34 matches. The absence of any sub-score above 70 means the score reflects breadth of contribution rather than any single elite dimension.
Form score of 83.14 sits just 0.3 points above the TactiQ Score of 82.8 — well within the ±5 stable band. Output is consistent and predictable with no meaningful upward or downward signal.
Both profile as high-volume defensive midfielders with similar TactiQ scores (82.8 vs 83.78), though Zubimendi's slightly higher score suggests a marginal edge in overall efficiency or creative output.

Casimiro (81.7) shares the defensive-first midfield role and comparable physical engagement metrics, but carries a more established elite-level track record that this player has yet to match.
Wharton (78.33) is the closest in profile as a Premier League defensive midfielder, though his lower TactiQ Score indicates this player edges him on overall contribution volume.
A 56% duel success rate across 4.77 duels won/90 is adequate but falls short of the 60%+ threshold typical of elite defensive midfielders — meaning roughly 1 in 2 physical contests is lost, which limits his ability to dominate midfield battles.
0.85 aerials won/90 is modest for a defensive midfielder expected to provide a physical shield in front of the back line, suggesting limited dominance when the ball is 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.
