Playing Style Profiles
Orsolini is the kind of wide attacker who wins the ball like a midfielder and uses it like a forward—a combination rarer in Serie A than his modest reputation suggests. His duel win rate sits in the top 5% of attackers in the league, which means defenders simply cannot brush him off the ball in transition.
Castro arrived in Serie A as a teenager and has quietly built a profile that rewards closer inspection than his modest surface numbers suggest. His 0.37 goals per 90 places him above average among Serie A forwards, and his shot volume backs that up — 2.49 attempts per 90 puts him in elite attacking territory.
