Playing Style Analysis

Complete ForwardSmall Sample

A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a regular goalscorer (0.26 goals/90) and a prolific assist provider (0.52 assists/90). Note: this profile is based on 686 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Giacomo De Pieri by playing style are:

  • Pietro Pellegri(82% match) — A Forward. Note: this profile is based on 746 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Andrea Pinamonti(81% match) — A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a prolific assist provider (0.25 assists/90). Note: this profile is based on 713 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Pio Esposito(82% match) — Esposito has carved out a niche in Serie A that few young attackers manage: a physically dominant, assist-generating forward who makes defenders work harder off the ball than on it. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of the league—not a marginal edge but a genuine weapon, the kind that changes how opponents set up defensively. The assists figure (top 10%) is the counterintuitive detail worth unpacking: for a striker logging only 924 minutes, that combination of shot volume and creative output suggests a player who operates between the lines rather than as a pure finisher.
