Edoardo Iannoni

Key strength: Work rate

Box-to-box midfielder

At 24 years old, Edoardo Iannoni is grinding through a transitional season with US Sassuolo, currently occupying 11th place in the table. The Italian box-to-box midfielder has logged 13 appearances this campaign but managed just 296 minutes - a statistic that tells the story of a squad player biding his time on the bench. Iannoni's sole goal and tireless work rate have kept him in manager Alessio Dionisi's plans, but breaking into a crowded midfield department featuring Ismaël Koné (73 rated) and Kristian Thorstvedt (73 rated) remains his primary challenge. His €750,000 valuation reflects both his potential and his current peripheral status. While teammates like Armand Laurienté and Andrea Pinamonti grab headlines with their attacking contributions, Iannoni's role is more unglamorous - providing energy late in matches, disrupting opposition rhythms, and waiting for that breakout opportunity. For a player whose key strength is relentless work rate, every minute counts as he attempts to prove he deserves a more prominent role in Sassuolo's push up the standings.
