  • Brooke Norton-Cuffy(85% match)A Defender. Statistically, he stands out as active off the ball (2.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
  • Alessandro Zanoli(85% match)A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.1 key passes/90) and a reliable supplier (0.17 assists/90).
  • Odilon Kossounou(84% match)Kossounou has carved out a rare niche in Serie A's defensive landscape: a centre-back who builds play with the precision of a deep-lying midfielder while quietly contributing to the scoresheet. His 92.7% pass accuracy places him in the top 5% of defenders in the division—not just neat sideways passes, but 5.27 progressive balls into the final third per 90, suggesting genuine intent to break lines. His goal contribution rate sits in the top 20%, a counterintuitive figure that reveals an underrated offensive threat from set-pieces that opponents routinely underestimate.
