Romain Faivre’s evolved role as a centrally-positioned playmaker is noteworthy. He recorded 2 Assists, 4 Shot Creating Actions and 2 Goal Creations against PSG yesterday.

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.

Faivre is a creative threat going forward in different phases of play. In addition to being a reliable carrier of the ball, he averages a healthy 2 key passes/90. Faivre is also a set-piece specialist, adding another dimension to his game.

The French youngster outputted above average defensive actions compared to midfielders in Ligue 1 last season. Moreover, he has an efficient pressure success rate of 33.1%. Faivre might be given the license to apply his work rate higher up the pitch this season.

Faivre's multifaceted profile shares a radar mould with the likes of  Raphinha and @LorePelle7

Pellegrini has higher GCAs from dead balls whereas Faivre outperforms the Roma star defensively.

In terms of style of ball progression, Raphinha outputs higher for passing metrics as opposed to Faivre, who outputs high for carries.

Against PSG, 97% of Faivre's possession value (xgChain-xGbuildup/xGbuildup*100) was involved in the final phase of his team’s possession chain. If he sustains his form, then he could be one of Ligue 1’s more exciting # 10s this season.
