His off-the-ball movement is cited as a major strength, whereas Falcao is a leading-the-line forward, playing more passes in final third, looking to dribble and competing in the air. Who is the better player? Who will do better in France? Cedric Rouquette, Eurosport France: Both are huge players, but if I had to pick up only one, as a sports director, it would have been Falcao.
Cavani will add a lot to PSG as he is a great fighter, a great runner, a great collective guy, and this team needs this kind of player. Falcao will be surrounded by good creators such as Rodriguez and Moutinho at Monaco, which should help him play to his best level pretty quickly.
Falcao is more a traditional striker, while Cavani is a modern one. I will pick Cavani, just because he gives more options to a team and he is able to sacrifice for another forward like he does with Uruguay. Anyway, if Ibra stays it will make it harder for Cavani. And with Falcao you are sure to find a striker with goals. France: There is a good chance he will. They have no reason to do it. On the pitch I think they could play together.

As shown in the chart above, there are many similarities between the two South American players.
They are of a similar age, play in the same division and have similar builds—even if Cavani has a height advantage of seven centimetres. Most importantly, though, they are both prodigious goalscorers and, given that they both hail from South America and emerged at similar times onto the European stage, it is only natural that they should be compared—rightly or wrongly. While, personally, I am not a fan of putting a number or grade to different attributes in a player's game, we can turn to the famously rigourous Football Manager database for a review of the two players' qualities in some of the key attributes required to be a centre-forward.
The ratings back up what is clear from watching the two players on a regular basis—there is very little between them in terms of basic abilities. Last season's statistics also back up the incredible similarities in their games.
Per Whoscored, both players averaged 0. Both are terrific in and around the penalty area, while also excellent at holding up the ball and linking play.
