The image shows a radar chart comparison using performance percentiles for three defensive profiles:

João Cancelo (24/25) – blue
Jules Koundé (24/25) – pink
Jules Koundé (25/26) – green

Each axis represents a specific on-field metric, and each value shows where the player ranks compared to others in the same position.

Percentile 90 = better than 90% of comparable players

Percentile 50 = average

Percentile 20 = below average

These are contextual comparisons, not raw numbers.

What each metric means (simple explanation)

1. Crosses

Measures a player’s ability to deliver effective crosses into the box.

Cancelo scores very high: strong attacking full-back profile.
Koundé shows lower values: not a primary attacking outlet.

➡️ A clear difference in role.

2. xAssist (Expected Assists)

Evaluates the quality of chances created, not just final assists.

Cancelo ranks very high.
Koundé contributes less in this area.

➡️ Creative profile vs. structural defender.

3. Progressive passes

Passes that break lines and move the team forward.

Cancelo again ranks high.
Koundé shows clear improvement from one season to the next.

➡️ The chart shows development, not just comparison.

4. Carrying / Progressive carries

Ability to advance with the ball under control.

Cancelo dominates this metric.
Koundé improves significantly in 25/26.

➡️ A changing profile depending on role and context.

5. Possession won

Defensive actions that result in ball recovery.

Koundé stands out more than Cancelo.
More defensive reliability and positioning.

➡️ Key for understanding defensive contribution.

6. Defensive duels %

Percentage of defensive duels won.

Koundé shows strong numbers.
Cancelo ranks lower.

➡️ Not better or worse — simply different defensive profiles.

7. Aerial duels %

Effectiveness in aerial challenges.

Koundé clearly excels.
Cancelo has less impact here.

➡️ Crucial for central defenders or more defensive full-backs.

What this comparison really shows

This graphic does not answer the question “Who is better?”.

It answers a more useful one:

What kind of player is this?

Cancelo → attacking full-back, creative, ball-progressing
Koundé → solid defender, reliable, improving in build-up play

Even more interesting:

The season-to-season comparison shows how a profile evolves depending on role, system and development.

Why this kind of presentation matters for a player profile

Most player profiles include:

videos
isolated statistics
match highlights

But they often fail to explain the overall profile.

A visualisation like this:

summarises strengths and weaknesses
avoids misleading interpretations
helps coaches, clubs and agencies understand fit

All in seconds, without long reports.

How this fits into Kickbio

Kickbio does not generate these metrics — and it doesn’t need to.

Its value is in presentation and organisation.

A well-built Kickbio profile can bring together:

game footage
data platform links
comparative graphics like this
contextual information and contact

All accessible through one single link.

That allows anyone reviewing the profile to:

understand the player quickly
avoid back-and-forth explanations
make better, more informed decisions

Conclusion

This image makes one thing very clear:

When data is well organised and well presented,

the player profile becomes easier to understand.

No exaggeration.

No noise.

Just clear presentation of relevant information.
