Adrien Tamèze

Key strength: Ball retention

Deep-lying playmaker

At 32, French defensive midfielder Adrien Tamèze finds himself in a supporting role at 13th-placed Torino FC, with just two appearances (180 minutes) and a €2 million market value this season. Sitting behind established starters like Cesare Casadei (73-rated) and Nikola Vlašić (70) in Ivan Jurić's midfield hierarchy, Tamèze operates as a deep-lying playmaker whose primary strength lies in ball retention rather than goal production—his goal and assist tallies sit at zero. His solitary yellow card suggests discipline issues haven't emerged despite limited minutes. While his 47 rating and minimal game time indicate a squad depth role, Tamèze's experience provides valuable cover in a Torino midfield competing in a tightly packed Serie A. With Ivan Ilić also pushing for minutes, Tamèze faces a battle to expand his influence, but his ball retention skills could prove crucial in seeing out tight matches when called upon.
