Independent rating — league strength (Opta-anchored) × competition tier × position-normalized output. Thin data: leans on league tier, caps and FC26 prior. Not affiliated with EA or FIFA.
The creative spark and the player most likely to attract a major European move on the back of this World Cup. Fayzullayev’s job is the same as Bruno Fernandes’s for Portugal — be the connector between defensive midfield and the striker — but he does it with a more individualistic, dribble-heavy profile that suits Uzbekistan’s need to manufacture chances out of relatively little possession.
Watch his usage rates in transition: if Cannavaro lets him receive the ball in the half-space and run at defenders, he is the team’s likeliest source of game-changing moments. If they end up pinned deep against Portugal or Colombia, his minutes may shrink in favour of more defensive bodies.
Strengths
- Press resistance
