The Brighton midfielder always makes himself available to receive the ball and is bold with his passing. He is at his best as the defensive midfielder, where he reads the game well, often disrupting opposition attacks. Caicedo is comfortable receiving the ball under pressure and is adept at helping his team’s attacks progress. His vision is another key attribute, which often sees him fire a ball into his teammate’s feet or expertly weigh the pass into space for them to run onto.
