Jude is a physical Box-To-Box Powerhouse midfielder who is usually at home as a CM. With such good dribbling ability, he's versatile enough to be successful on the wings.
His aggressive playstyle is still better used in the centre of the field where he wrecks havoc and is the pioneer to many counter attacks. A press resistor, Jude is very composed on the ball, and has superb technique in tight spaces.
4.04 successful takeons per game, 58.2% success.
These stats highlight just how solid he is as an isolated player. This is exactly why Bellingham is also deployed on the wings sometimes. He takes on fullbacks with ease and is able to break into the oppositionâs boxes.

Once he breaks into the box, Bellingham usually prefers low crosses and cutbacks. While an unselfish player, he certainly can improve as a goal threat.
"Heâs already successfully finishing 55.3% of his actions with an average of 72.32 but that figure is bound to go up with time" - @TotalAnalysis - @BarcaFront
Another significant area of strength for the 16yr old is his positioning and movement. In general, heâs very incisive and more often than not makes the right decision with the ball.
He always knows how to position himself and how to generate space and support his teammates.
He always knows how to position himself and how to generate space and support his teammates.
A recurring example of his unpredictability is how he moves with his back to goal within the half spaces to draw CBâs out of position. He presents a receiving option for teammates and plays them on to overlapping runs or turns to make a run into the box.
Jude has exceptional positional awareness with his team in defense. He doesnât suffer from the âRamsey diseasesâ that most young B2Bâs usually have of carelessly committing to counter attacks with no defensive cover.
Mentality is never in question with Jude. He's a fighter on the pitch and with his impressive physical tools (especially for his age) isnât afraid to get scrappy.
He engages in 9.56 defensive duels on average and wins 6.31 of them.
Defensive Traitmark? Turnarounds.

What's a turnaround? Your team loses position in the opponent's half and are about to face a counter attack, but you directly start pressing the team after you lost possession. In this regard, Bellingham is a monster.
He has 6.39 recoveries in the opponent's half with a success rate of 55.2%. Outrageous numbers for a 16yr old!
Jude is the dream midfielder for any pressing side.

1.28 slide tackles a game with a success rate of 60%.
An excellent shielder of the ball (due to his physical tools) Jude doesnât choke up possession after winning the ball back. Heâs comfortable under pressure.

Weaknesses:
One of his weaknesses can be seen in his pass accuracy which comes with most young CMâs: Average passing accuracy of 77%.
Heâs prone to taking risks, but moreover his accuracy and decision making in the final third should improve as he continues to progress.

With only 4.6 passes into the final third with 60% accuracy: 1.99 into the box with 38.5% accuracy. Itâs clear he shouldnât bear responsibility for the final/creative pass and instead is tasked as a recycler in midfield.
Another con is his finishing. He needs to improve his shooting technique in the future and his shot power is also inconsistent. But it has to be said: He isn't a goal scorrer. Carrying & recovering the ball is his main job.
All things considered Jude is a special talent for his age. His future will likely see him mould into a powerful 8 fitting into all variations of the position. Physically heâs ready but can fill out even more and if he perfects his striking technique, he can master his craft.
