Key strength: Aerial dominance
Defensive anchor
At the heart of Udinese's 9th-placed campaign sits French centre-back Oumar Solet, the defensive anchor quietly orchestrating stability at the Friulian club. The 26-year-old has been ever-present this season, racking up 27 appearances and 2,316 minutes—an unwavering presence that belies his 53 overall rating. Operating as a defensive anchor with aerial dominance his trademark, Solet has not only kept his team secure but contributed at both ends of the pitch, notching 2 goals and 1 assist despite his modest shooting stats. With a market value of €18m, the Frenchman represents one of the club's most valuable assets, commanding that premium through reliability and consistency—evidenced by just one yellow card and no reds across his league campaign. While teammates like Nicolò Zaniolo grab headlines with his attacking flair, Solet provides the foundation that allows Udinese's creative talents to flourish. His physical presence and aerial prowess make him a difficult proposition for any striker in Serie A, and his near-complete availability has been the unsung story of Udinese's mid-table steadiness.
