Players to Watch

Lucas Beltran (Fiorentina)

Beltran’s exceptional ability lies in his ability to adapt to various roles in the offensive zone. His versatility on the pitch is truly remarkable, as he seamlessly transitions between playing as a centre-forward, operation on the wings, or even dropping deeper to link up play. Beltran is a technically proficient player, boasting exceptional ball control and dribbling abilities.

His agility and balance enable him to swiftly alter his course, leaving defenders bewildered and generating prospects for himself and his teammates. He is a threat inside the penalty area as he is good at winning fouls and can shrug off challenges easily with his trickery. In 12 Serie A games, he scored twice and provided four assists.

Rui Modesto (Udinese)

Modesto’s versatility makes him a great asset for the team. He showcases a dynamic playing style that revolves around his active involvement in offensive actions. His capacity to provide accurate crosses into the box and his skills in taking on defenders through dribbles add a dimension of unpredictability.

Modesto excels in venturing forward to support the attack by overlapping with his teammates. He engages in moderate levels of defensive activities. However, his primary focus remains on contributing to the team’s offensive initiatives, making him an energetic force down the flank. He has 87% passing accuracy per game, 50% dribbling success rate and 50% ground duels won per game.
