Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
At AS Roma, where attacking talents like Artem Dovbyk (79) and Matías Soulé (78) dominate headlines, 23-year-old Devyne Rensch represents the defensive depth the Giallorossi have built as they chase European qualification from their 5th-place position. The Netherlands international has made four appearances this season, accumulating 360 minutes of action in an overlapping full-back role where his pace and recovery abilities are most valuable. While yet to register a goal or assist contribution, Rensch's €10m market valuation reflects Roma's faith in his development at right-back. With seasoned teammates like Manu Koné (84) providing midfield stability, Rensch serves as squad depth - the kind of young, mobile defender modern managers rely on to rotate and maintain intensity across a grueling season. His playing style mirrors the modern full-back archetype: overlapping runs in attack with the athleticism to recover defensively.
