All players →Ball-winning destroyer2026-27 role · from this player’s strongest traits vs defensive mids
Aremu profiles as a ball-winning destroyer: strongest on ball-winning; receiving is the least dominant part of the profile. Style vs other Aberdeen defensive mids — not a rating.
Each spoke = percentile vs Aberdeen defensive mids (player-seasons 2021–22 to 2025–26, 450+ minutes). Passing, receiving and carrying are threat added (xT); shot volume replaces goals for defenders (too noisy); ball-winning is defensive actions per 90. Hover a spoke label for what it includes.

Formation fit
Which shape he plays in
| Shape | Apps | Min | G/90 | Sh/90 | Aerial % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4-2-3-1 | 4 | 297 | 0.00 | 0.30 | 14% |
Shape is the side's starting formation for each match, so a game where Aberdeen changed at half time counts wholly to what they started in — mid-match spells are only recorded for the current season. 4 further shapes fall below 270 minutes (5-3-2, 4-1-3-2, 3-5-2, 4-4-2) and are left out rather than ranked on noise.
No style model covers this profile yet. Keepers have none — seven seasons is too thin to percentile and the on-ball data says nothing about shot-stopping — and a forward the roster marks as primarily wide sits outside the centre-forward pool on purpose.
