Sebastiano Luperto

Key strength: Aerial dominance

Defensive anchor

In the volatile landscape of Serie B's mid-table battle, US Cremonese sit 8th after a turbulent LWWLL sequence that perfectly captures the division's unpredictability. Yet through the chaos, one constant remains: captain Sebastiano Luperto. The 29-year-old Italian centre-back has been the bedrock of their campaign, clocking an incredible 2,871 minutes across 32 appearances—an ever-present figure in a squad desperately seeking consistency. While his attacking returns are modest (1 goal, 1 assist), it's his commanding aerial dominance and 55-rated physical presence that justify his €4.6 million valuation. In a team boasting the attacking talents of Andrea Pinamonti and Vladyslav Vanat, it's Luperto's steadying influence at the back that prevents the wheels from coming off. With just 4 yellow cards to his name, the number 5 combines discipline with durability—qualities Cremonese will need in abundance if they're to transform their erratic form into a genuine promotion push. When the storm hits, Luperto is the anchor that holds firm.
