Playing Style Profiles

Lloyd Kelly

Kelly has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete defensive presences — a left-sided centre-back who dominates physically without sacrificing technical composure. His aerial win rate sits in the top 10% of the league, and crucially, he wins those duels at volume too — 3.00 per 90 puts him in the top 20% for aerial output.

Pierre Kalulu

Kalulu has quietly become one of Serie A's most progressive defenders — a ball-carrier in disguise wearing a centre-back's number. His 60.8 passes per 90 and 6.23 passes into the final third both land in the top 20-30% of defenders in the league, figures that reveal a player comfortable initiating attacks rather than simply recycling possession.
