Marco Carnesecchi

Key strength: Shot-stopping

Shot-stopper

Atalanta BC find themselves languishing in 10th place after a frustrating run of DLWDL form, yet one department remains utterly impenetrable. Between the posts, Marco Carnesecchi is crafting something extraordinary: six appearances, 540 minutes played, and a staggering 100% clean sheet record. The 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper has yet to concede a single goal this season, a feat that stands in stark contrast to the club's patchy league campaign. Standing at 6'3" with the instincts of a classical shot-stopper, Carnesecchi—wearing the #29 shirt typically associated with squad rotation—is making an emphatic case for the starting role Atalanta is grooming him for. His €30 million market value already reflects elite potential, and performances like these suggest that figure will only climb. While attacking teammates like Raspadori and Scamacca struggle to lift Atalanta up the table, Carnesecchi offers a defensive fortress, a rare constant in turbulent times. For a club famous for spotting value before the market catches up, their goalkeeper looks like another triumph in the making.
