Pape Matar Sarr is a young, versatile Senegalese midfielder playing for FC Metz. Interestingly, he’s from the same academy that produced the likes of Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr & Papiss Cisse. He played most of his games as a DM, but featured at CM too.

From the footage, we see his biggest strengths are his ball-carrying & defensive abilities.He also likes taking many shots, averaging 1.75 per game [92nd percentile], out of which 0.48 are on target[84th percentile].This allowed him to score 3 goals, outperforming his xG by 2.21.
Sarr’s most touches unsurprisingly come in the mid-third area of the field. From these heat maps, we can see Sarr loves pushing up forward as well, suggesting he’s more box to box. We can also see he usually plays on the left side.

Faivre is an excellent progressor of the ball. He switched between LM and RM last season, and thrived by making penetrating carries into the final third. His ability to break lines in combination with a strong defensive output will make him an exciting number 10 for Brest.
His biggest strengths lie in ball carrying & shot creating actions, especially through dead balls. His shooting could be improved. Moreover his new role as an AM could certainly add more carries & passes into the penalty area.
