Dodô

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

In a season of turmoil for ACF Fiorentina, currently languishing in 18th position, Brazilian right-back Dodô has emerged as a beacon of consistency and reliability. With an impressive 31 appearances and 2,519 minutes under his belt, the 27-year-old has been ever-present as La Viola battle against the drop. Operating as an overlapping full-back, Dodô has contributed 3 assists from defense, combining his natural pace and recovery ability to stretch opposition defenses while maintaining defensive discipline—evidenced by just a single yellow card across the entire campaign. His €18 million market value speaks to his importance in a squad featuring attacking talents like Moise Kean and Albert Guðmundsson. While Fiorentina's form remains uncertain, Dodô's durability and willingness to bomb forward make him a crucial outlet in their fight for survival. The Florence faithful will hope his tireless running down the right flank can spark a revival in the weeks ahead.
