Thiago Helguera is a central midfielder whose current metrics suggest a struggle to make a significant impact in games. With a Sofascore rating in the bottom 14% of his position, he has yet to showcase standout strengths or effective contributions in the final third. Despite missing only a few games in the last three seasons, his limited touches and shot creation indicate a need for development to become a more influential presence in midfield.
Availability: 9 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
