Not every contribution in a Premier League match involves sprinting or flying into tackles. Some players influence the game in more subtle ways - through positioning, awareness, and economy of movement.
Tracking data shows that certain players walk more than others during matches, often using these moments to read the game, conserve energy, or stay tactically disciplined.
While it might raise eyebrows, walking can be part of a smart, strategic approach. Let's take a look at the players who spent the most time walking during games this season - and what that might say about their playing style.
Manchester United fans might be interested to know that incoming forward Matheus Cunha spent more of his time walking than any other outfield player in the Premier League this season, at 77%.
What makes that even more remarkable is that the rest of the top five biggest 'walkers' were all centre-backs, where biding your time and assessing the situation makes more sense.
Now Lionel Messi is known for walking a lot in games before producing moments of magic, so it is not necessarily a bad thing, but the question is whether what Cunha brings is worth the walking.
Is Cunha's skillset worth it?
And do you agree that he is a better footballer than Garnacho?
