• Tommaso Barbieri(85% match) — A Defender. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.4 tackles/90) and top 10% tackler in the league.
• Federico Dimarco(80% match) — Dimarco is the rare left-sided defender who genuinely terrifies opponents in the final third—a set-piece specialist and overlap threat wrapped inside a defensive role. His numbers at Inter tell a fascinating story: key passes, goals, and assists all rank in Serie A's top 5% among defenders, a combination virtually no other defender in the league can claim.
• Alessandro Buongiorno(80% match) — Buongiorno has quietly become one of Serie A's most complete defensive operators — a centre-back who wins the ball without fanfare and moves it with purpose. His interception numbers place him in the top 10% of defenders in the league, which tells you something important: this isn't a defender who simply reacts, he anticipates.
