Playing Style Profiles

Alex Telles

Telles is a specialist masquerading as a fullback, a dead-ball artist whose left foot operates more like a playmaker’s wand than a defender's tool. In a Serie A tier-C side, he is an offensive outlier; his 0.41 goals per 90 put him in the top 5% of all defenders, while his shot volume and key pass metrics consistently haunt the league’s elite percentiles.

Luca Pellegrini

A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed and active in the tackle (1.8 tackles/90).
