• Wesley(86% match) — Wesley is the rare defender in Serie A who looks more dangerous going forward than most midfielders, yet earns his place through relentless ball-winning. His 0.17 goals per 90 ranks in the top 10% among defenders in the league—a number that belongs on a striker's report, not a backline profile. His tackles won rate sits in the same elite tier, meaning this isn't an attacking defender who neglects his defensive duties; he genuinely does both.
