Antoine Bernede

Key strength: Vision and passing

Creative playmaker

In the crucible of a relegation battle, Antoine Bernede stands as one of Hellas Verona's few steadying forces. At 26, the French midfield orchestrator has been a rare constant in a season of turmoil, clocking 1,891 minutes across 25 appearances as Verona languish rooted to the bottom of the table. Bernede's numbers tell a story of understated influence: 1 goal, 2 assists, and a disciplinary record that reflects his composure—just one yellow card all season. His €3.5 million valuation underscores his reliability as a creative playmaker whose vision and passing (57 FIFA rating) offer glimmers of hope amid Verona's five-match losing streak. While teammates like Giovane and Gift Orban carry the attacking burden, Bernede operates as the metronome, attempting to knit together a side desperately seeking cohesion. His 63 overall rating may not dazzle, but in a relegation scrap, his availability and consistency could prove Verona's salvation—or at least their dignity.
