Style Map

Every player-season since 2016, positioned so that players with similar playing styles sit near each other. Similarity is modeled° from on-ball actions only.

Seasonloading…hover a point

Axes you can read: x is where a season's on-ball profile sits between the average defender (left) and the average forward (right); y is how much it resembles the average midfielder. Both are cosine similarities to position-group centroids over the full 2016–2026 embedding — hand-written and deterministic, not a learned projection. Goalkeepers are drawn dim: they project, but cannot warp the axes. Every point is one player-season, so a player's own drift across seasons is real distance.
