Stars in Europe - France - Keyplayer - Dayot Upamecano

Dayot Upamecano

Dayot Upamecano is one of the very few centre-backs in the Top 7 Leagues ranking in the 95th+ percentile for both defensive duel success and passing volume.

The Bayern Munich defender sits in the 99th percentile for passes completed and defensive duel win rate, while also excelling in forward and progressive passing. A dominant physical presence with elite recovery speed, he thrives in high defensive lines and front-foot defending. In the Bundesliga, no centre-back wins a higher percentage of defensive duels than Upamecano (87.8%).
