Upgrading on Emre Can
The Football Whispers lab has a function which allows users to search for players who not only rank similarily in terms of overall ratings but are also stylistically a match. When setting search parameters up for Can replacements the closest player to him is Fabinho – a 98.3 per cent match.
The Player Persona model, which can be seen above, paints a picture of two similar players. It’s a visual representation of which traits have characterised Fabinho and Can over the past couple of seasons.
While not identical, they are eerily similar and it’s clear why the Brazilian was viewed as a replacement for the wantaway German.
Both are heavily involved in build-up passing and lean towards defending and aerial play. Fabinho does more defensive work, while Can has an impact further forward, something highlighted by his radar edging higher up the chance-creation and shooting categories.
It is worth remembering, though, that Jürgen Klopp deployed his No.23 as a box-to-box midfielder at times with more offensive responsibility. This could account for the spike in the radar which he has and Fabinho, who sits deeper for Monaco in general, doesn’t. That’s stylistically, but what about statistically?
The leagues in which the two are playing in will play a part in the stats they’re able to post and there’s no guarantee Fabinho will post the numbers he did at Monaco during his time at Anfield.
Having said that, it appears that anything the German can do, the Brazilian can do better. The stats, taken from the 2017/18 campaign, show that Liverpool’s newest signing averaged more open-play key passes and had a higher expected goals assisted number.
He also played more of his passes forward, possibly because Can was used further forward, and successfully completed more dribbles while winning more tackles and interceptions.
For added context, Can was in the top ten for midfielders in the Premier League with the most tackles and interceptions on a per 90 minute basis. He’s no slouch in that area yet Fabinho is comfortably clear.
Fabinho wins 1.2 more headers per 90 and has a 66 per cent win rate, way up on Can’s 46 per cent. The Brazilian also triumphs when looking at pass, long-ball and shot accuracy. There might only be a slight difference in most categories but they always favour the former Real Madrid defender.
Fabinho is an upgrade in every sense of the word and Liverpool have yet again played a blinder in the transfer window.

Wow, a midfielder who wins the ball with his head! This guy is going to slot in perfectly. I feel he and Keita are going to be a great little and large act in our midfield.

Hopefully he doesn't hold onto the ball as much or need as many touches.
He can have shit hair to compensate
