Playing Style Profiles

Donyell Malen

A Poacher. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (3.8 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.56 goals/90) and top 10% scorer in the league.

Gianluca Scamacca

Scamacca is the rare Italian striker who combines a bodybuilder's frame with a poacher's cold efficiency, making him one of Serie A's most quietly dangerous forwards. His goals-per-90 sits in the top 10% of the league, but the real headline is his shot volume — top 5% — which tells you this isn't a man waiting for perfect moments, he's manufacturing them.
