Kauã EliasHigh-accuracy centre-forward
In a 903-minute published sample for Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League during 2025/26, Kauã Elias shows the early outline of a high-accuracy centre-forward. The three numbers to note are shot accuracy at 48.7% (78th percentile), shot volume at 3.89 per 90 (95th percentile) and dribble success at 77.8% (97th percentile). That is enough to create interest, not enough to call the profile finished.
Scores rebuilt September 3, 2026 from completed comparable performance evidence through July 18, 2026. Current club reviewed September 4, 2026. The numbers frame the film work; they are not presented as a completed human scouting report.

01 · Role read
The football case
Chance-creation volume at 1.30 per 90 is closer to average for the role in the 62nd percentile. It is part of the picture, not a reason to raise the grade. Film still has to test the work around the shots: pinning centre-backs, linking play and leading the press.
This role read belongs to the labelled performance sample. It describes the job supported by the numbers; it does not lock in a position, ceiling or tactical fit.

Why he makes the list
These are the lead figures in the published role evidence. Definitions, coverage and source notes are available on the full player profile.
03 · Film priorities
What the numbers cannot answer
- Does Kauã Elias create separation before the delivery, or only after the defender commits?
- Can he connect the next runner when direct service into the box disappears?
- Can he steer the build-up toward the pressing trap rather than simply chase the ball?
04 · Current call
Stay interested, but wait for more minutes.
Kauã Elias sits #6 on the current global board, but the published sample is only 903 minutes. The role is worth tracking, but the sample cannot yet carry a recruitment call.
