Playing Style Profiles
A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.9 shots/90) and strong in aerial duels (3.9 aerials won/90).
Mulattieri is the kind of striker who wins headers in Serie A but struggles to win the ball at his feet—a physical presence in the box who remains curiously invisible in open play. His aerial win rate sits above the league average for attackers, a legitimate weapon in the right system, and his dribble volume places him in the top 20%—suggesting more directness than his overall profile implies.
