Total Football Analysis Breakout XI for 2025 includes eight ‘alternates’ / ‘bench players’ who almost made the cut for a full scouting report in the magazine.
Those players will still be covered with a mini-data analysis.
Last up is centre-forward Chido Obi-Martin of Manchester United.
One Manchester United signing this season who did not miss the hype train was Chido Obi-Martin, who joined the club’s youth side from Arsenal U18s.
Obi-Martin is already up and running for his new team, with the 17-year-old forward scoring a hat-trick in his debut against Nottingham Forest U18s.
Having recently broken the record for the most goals at U18 level, Obi-Martin is lethal in front of the net.
The visualisation below shows the forward’s shot map from the current and last seasons.
An instinctive goal-scorer, Obi-Martin’s profile shows he is extremely good inside the box and seems to target every area around the goalkeeper, not just one.
Obi-Martin uses his physicality to impose himself on the opponent but is also very athletic for someone with his physicality.
