Fikayo Tomori

Key strength: Aerial dominance

Defensive anchor

AC Milan sit 3rd in Serie A with a mixed DWLLW record that tells a story of a team finding its feet—but through the inconsistency, Fikayo Tomori has been the one constant. The 28-year-old English centre-back has played every single minute of the campaign so far, clocking 270 across three appearances while registering an assist and an eye-catching four yellow cards. That disciplinary record reveals a defender who tackles every duel with maximum intensity. Valued at €20 million, Tomori has completed a remarkable journey from Chelsea academy cast-off to Stefano Pioli's defensive cornerstone at the San Siro. His 70 defending rating underpins his natural aggression, while his aerial dominance and progressive passing provide the platform for attackers like Christopher Nkunku to thrive. Partnered alongside the physical Strahinja Pavlović, Tomori balances calculated risk with genuine quality. As Milan chase silverware on multiple fronts, their transformed English defender could prove the difference between near-misses and tangible trophies.
