- Jeff Ekhator(85% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.36 goals/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.5/90). Note: this profile is based on 497 minutes of playing time this season.
- Riccardo Orsolini(85% match) — 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. He generates shots at a top-20% clip and carries the ball into dangerous areas with similar frequency, making him a genuine threat rather than a peripheral one.
