Playing Style Profiles
Éderson has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete midfield engines — a player who does the unglamorous work at an elite level while never demanding the spotlight. His 90.3% pass accuracy places him in the top 10% of league midfielders, but the more telling figure is his press intensity, also top 20% — meaning he wins the ball back as efficiently as he distributes it.
Locatelli has spent years being the midfielder that makes everything work without ever making the highlight reel—and the numbers finally prove why that matters. Operating in Serie A's congested midfield battles, he ranks in the top 5% for passes per 90, tackles won, press intensity, and passes into the final third simultaneously; finding a player who dominates all four categories at once is genuinely rare.
