Lecce lost 2–1 to Bologna, but that match supplied the two highest scorers in TFF's Serie A Balanced Team of the Week. Danilo Veiga finished on 25 points and Nicolò Cambiaghi on 24.5, narrowly ahead of Nikola Krstović's 24 from Atalanta's win over Venezia. Together they led an XI worth 191 points.
That combination makes this a useful week to look beyond the result. TFF's player data includes a defender with an assist, a midfielder with two and a forward whose shots support his direct returns. The latest supplied season figures help judge those contributions, especially where a big weekly score sits alongside a small minutes sample.
Lecce and Bologna supply the leading pair
Danilo Veiga earns 25 points, with TFF recording an assist, 4 chances created, 3 tackles and 4 interceptions in 90 minutes. His supplied season total is 63 points across 6 appearances, averaging 10.5, with 3 assists and 19 tackles. Lecce's defeat doesn't erase that individual contribution. The broader defensive activity gives managers more to examine than an assist or a single high score.
Bologna's Nicolò Cambiaghi follows on 24.5 points, with 2 assists and 5 chances created in TFF's data. Both assists sit within a current season total of 2, while his 48 points across 6 appearances average 8. The chance creation adds substance, but half his current total of 10 chances came this week. Veiga has a wider record behind several contributions; Cambiaghi's creative spike still needs another look.
Atalanta's win produces returns on both sides
The 3–1 result between Atalanta and Venezia supplied Nikola Krstović's 24 points. TFF records 2 goals, an assist and 7 shots, 4 on target, in 90 minutes. Those shots are the useful supporting detail, yet his current season figures contain just 2 starts and 280 minutes across 6 appearances. Strong attacking involvement in this game should not be confused with a settled supply of playing time.
Venezia's Antoine Hainaut contributes 12 points, with a goal and 2 chances created in TFF's figures. His current 55 points across 6 appearances average roughly 9.2, backed by 535 minutes. Krstović has the much bigger weekly return, but Hainaut has the larger involvement record. That doesn't automatically make one the better choice; it tells managers which part of each case needs checking before the score drives a decision.
Saves and defensive work keep others involved
Cagliari's 1–1 draw with Juventus brought Elia Caprile 13.5 points, with TFF recording 9 saves. His supplied season total contains 28 saves across 6 appearances, so this was a particularly busy return. Inter's 3–0 win over Parma supplied Carlos Augusto's 14 points, with a tackle and 4 interceptions. His current 46 points across 4 appearances average 11.5, although the same record has only 2 starts.
Frosinone lost 3–0 at Napoli, but Giorgio Cittadini adds 13 points, with 6 tackles and 7 interceptions in TFF's data. His wider record contains 17 tackles and 18 interceptions across 6 appearances. The three selections deserve different readings: Caprile's save workload can fluctuate, Carlos Augusto's minutes need attention, and Cittadini has a larger defensive sample to inspect. Their team results alone wouldn't tell that story.
Mota's short appearance meets Osmajic's fuller record
Lazio's 3–1 win over Monza supplied Dany Mota's 18.5 points, with TFF recording an assist and 5 shots, 4 on target, in only 44 minutes. It is an eye-catching level of activity for a non-starting appearance. The season figures keep the conclusion in check: 146 minutes and one start across 4 appearances. A productive short appearance is worth reviewing, but it doesn't establish a larger future role.
Genoa's 2–1 win over Fiorentina brought Milutin Osmajic 16.5 points from FLEX, with a goal and an assist in TFF's figures. His current 45.5 points across 5 appearances average 9.1, alongside 4 starts and 387 minutes. Mota had the higher weekly score; Osmajic has the fuller starting record. That's a useful distinction when considering whether the latest return reflects an ongoing opportunity or a concentrated burst.
De Bruyne and Moreira finish in different ways
Napoli's 3–0 win over Frosinone supplied Kevin De Bruyne's 14 points, with 2 goals and 2 chances created in TFF's data. His current season figures show 45 points across 6 appearances, averaging 7.5, but only 3 starts. There is a wider creative record of 14 chances created to investigate. The sensible focus is whether that involvement and the minutes continue, not whether another two-goal return follows.
Milan's draw with Sassuolo put Diego Moreira in FLEX with 16 points, without a goal or assist. TFF records 2 shots and 2 chances created, while his current season sample contains 216 minutes across 4 appearances. That leaves another minutes question beneath a strong score. This XI rewards a closer look at the whole contribution. See how TFF scoring works when deciding which parts matter to your league. Which of these players would you actually add?
