Manuel Neuer is a seasoned shot-stopper known for his exceptional ball-playing ability and composure under pressure. Despite a Sofascore rating placing him in the bottom 29% of his peers this season, he remains a unique presence with top-tier metrics in successful dribbles and touches per 90 minutes, showcasing his confidence in possession. However, his injury history has made him less reliable, missing significant time over the past three seasons, which raises concerns about his durability in crucial matches.
Strengths: Successful dribbles, Touches, Aerial duels won. Availability: 35 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
