Defensive Contributions and Recoveries

If you’re looking for someone who can run and contribute on the defensive side of the game, there is only one winner.

Camavinga averaged 6.72 defensive contributions per 90 minutes last season, which is nearly double what Kone managed (3.59 per 90).


When we look at ball recoveries, things are slightly different, with Kone (4.65 per 90) only narrowly behind Camavinga (4.95 per 90) on this metric.
