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.
Olwan is the No. 9 who turns Tamari’s creation into goals. Their partnership — Tamari cutting in from the left, Olwan running the channel or attacking the back post — was the engine of Jordan’s qualifying run.
Against Group J’s defences, Olwan’s challenge is the step up in quality of marking. Argentina’s centre-backs (Romero, Martínez) and Austria’s (Alaba, Danso) will be the toughest he has faced. But against Algeria’s slower Mandi-Bensebaini pair, his pace and movement create a genuine matchup advantage.
Strengths
- Aerial duels — strong target man
- Penalty-box finishing
- Pressing intensity from the front
