Key strength: Work rate
Box-to-box midfielder
Sitting 7th in Serie A with two wins from their last five matches (LDLWW), Atalanta BC find themselves in an unfamiliar scrap for European qualification rather than the title race they're accustomed to. Yet amidst this patchy campaign, one constant remains: Éderson. The €40 million-rated Brazilian box-to-box midfielder has been Gian Piero Gasperini's metronome, racking up 34 appearances and over 2,592 minutes of tireless industry. While Scamacca and Piccoli grab the headlines with their attacking exploits, it's Éderson's understated excellence—71-rated passing vision, relentless physicality, and remarkably just one yellow card—that keeps La Dea's engine purring. His modest return of two goals and one assist belies his true value: he wins duels, recycles possession, and provides the connective tissue that allows El Khannouss and the forwards to flourish. In a squad built for fireworks, this unglamorous Brazilian excellence may be their most essential yet least celebrated asset as they fight to salvage their season.
