Best Alternatives to Roberto Piccoli

Playing Style Analysis

Piccoli is the kind of striker Serie A defences respect in the air but rarely fear on the ball—a blunt instrument with genuine aerial menace in a league that still values it. His 3.06 aerial wins per 90 place him comfortably in the top 20% of attackers, and his shot volume matches that tier too, suggesting a forward who gets into positions even if he doesn't always finish them. Here's the counterintuitive part: that dismal pass accuracy—bottom 10% in the league—isn't necessarily laziness or sloppiness. The three closest DNA matches to Roberto Piccoli:

• Moise Kean(80% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (4.3 shots/90) and a regular goalscorer (0.35 goals/90).

• Jonathan David(80% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as comfortable with both feet, an elite creator (1.7 key passes/90), a regular goalscorer (0.30 goals/90) and a reliable supplier (0.20 assists/90).
