Snapshot: 2025-11-07. Attributes use the 1–20 scale; CA and potential use 1–200. A potential interval is an inferred range. Estimated value is not a guaranteed transfer price; repeated £0 and £300m export values are treated as unavailable. Role and formation lists are attribute-based starting points, not verified tactical recommendations.
Different reasons to win an aerial duel
Height alone does not tell you who will dominate in the air. This shortlist combines heading, jumping reach and a minimum height. For centre-backs, also review positioning and bravery; for strikers, check off-the-ball movement and finishing. The ordering favours heading first, so it is a discovery tool rather than a promise that the first player wins every aerial contest.
