Playing Style Profiles
Djimsiti has carved out a quietly indispensable role at Atalanta through a blend of aerial authority and positional discipline that rarely generates highlights but consistently generates clean sheets. His 2.90 aerials won per 90 places him in the top 20% of Serie A defenders—a figure that understates his real value, because in Atalanta's high-pressing system, winning second balls isn't cosmetic, it's structural.
Akanji builds play with the precision of a midfielder wearing a centre-back's shirt—his 92.2% pass accuracy sits in the top 10% of Serie A defenders, and his 67.5 passes per 90 ranks in the top 5%, making him one of the league's most active distributors from deep. His 6.43 passes into the final third per 90 places him in the top 20%, meaning his value isn't just in keeping possession clean but in genuinely advancing it.
