Alberto Dossena

Key strength: Aerial dominance

Defensive anchor

Sitting comfortably in 6th place, Como 1907's remarkable return to Serie A prominence is anchored by defensive stalwarts like Alberto Dossena. The 27-year-old Italian centre-back, valued at €7 million, brings vital defensive intelligence to a side defying expectations among the elite. While his season record shows just 1 appearance so far, Dossena's role as a defensive anchor remains critical to Como's organizational structure. Operating alongside quality midfield talents like Maxence Caqueret (75 rating) and Nico Paz (73 rating), he provides the aerial dominance and composure required to withstand Serie A's attacking variety. With defending attributes of 60 and a well-balanced physical profile, Dossena embodies Italy's storied defensive tradition—offering both presence at the back and the tactical awareness to marshal a promoted side against seasoned opposition. For Como, balancing survival instincts with genuine European ambition, Dossena represents the defensive foundation upon which their top-flight renaissance continues to build.
