Napoli's 3–0 win over Frosinone supplied the biggest return in TFF's Serie A Classic Team of the Week. Kevin De Bruyne led on 18 points, while Nikola Krstović's contribution to Atalanta's 3–1 win over Venezia brought 16. The complete XI finished on 127 points.
There were quieter routes into the selection too. Como and Roma's 0–0 draw supplied the goalkeeper and two defenders, while several attacking returns came from players with limited minutes in the supplied season figures. TFF's player data helps distinguish the performances worth investigating from the scores that still need a larger sample behind them.
Napoli and Inter provide the midfield goals
TFF credits Kevin De Bruyne with 18 points, 2 goals and 2 chances created in 90 minutes as Napoli beat Frosinone. His current season figures contain 3 goals, an assist and 36 points across 6 appearances, averaging 6 points per appearance. The return comfortably exceeds that average, but his record also contains only 3 starts and 353 minutes. The goals are clear; the case for consistent minutes needs more evidence.
Inter's 3–0 win over Parma supplied Hakan Çalhanoğlu's 11 points, with TFF recording a goal and 2 chances created in 61 minutes. His current totals show 3 goals and 26 points across 4 appearances, averaging 6.5. Both midfielders have attacking returns beyond this week, but neither minutes record supports assuming uninterrupted involvement. Their goals deserve attention without turning this XI into a promise of regular scoring.
Krstović and Osmajic lead the forwards
Nikola Krstović earns 16 points from Atalanta's 3–1 win over Venezia, with TFF recording 2 goals, an assist and 7 shots, 4 on target. That's substantial attacking involvement, not simply one goal from one opportunity. The caution sits in his season record: 6 appearances but only 2 starts and 280 minutes. A full 90-minute contribution this week doesn't settle how much time he will get next.
Genoa's 2–1 win over Fiorentina brought Milutin Osmajic 12 points, with a goal and an assist in TFF's figures. His current 31 points across 5 appearances average 6.2, with 4 starts and 387 minutes. That is a larger starting sample than Krstović's, even if the weekly score is lower. For managers comparing them, the difference between a striking performance and a stronger involvement record is worth keeping in view.
Cambiaghi and Noslin make the assists count
Bologna's 2–1 win at Lecce supplied Nicolò Cambiaghi's 11 points, with TFF recording 2 assists and 5 chances created in 81 minutes. Those chances give the direct returns some supporting detail. However, both assists fall within a current season total of 2, and his 19 points across 6 appearances average roughly 3.2. This was a standout contribution rather than evidence of an established assist rate.
Lazio's 3–1 win over Monza brought Tijjani Noslin another 11 points from FLEX, with 2 assists and 3 chances created in 75 minutes. His supplied season record also contains only 2 assists, alongside 26 points across 5 appearances, averaging 5.2. Both players have creation worth examining. The next useful question is whether that involvement continues, rather than expecting another pair of assists because they made this week's XI.
Como and Roma supply the quieter selections
The 0–0 draw between Como and Roma put Pierluigi Gollini in goal with 7 points. TFF records 4 saves in 90 minutes, but his supplied season figures contain only that single appearance. The team clean sheet is confirmed by the result; the player evidence is still a very small sample. There isn't enough here to compare a recurring save workload or establish a longer run of involvement.
Como's Jacobo Ramón contributes 10 points and Kaiki adds 9, both with 90 minutes and a chance created in TFF's data. Ramón also records 5 tackles. Their season minutes differ sharply: Ramón has 540 across 6 appearances, while Kaiki has 206 across 4. The shared match context doesn't make their records interchangeable. Ramón has the larger involvement sample; Kaiki and Gollini need more appearances before firmer conclusions can be drawn.
Odenthal and Hainaut complete the XI
Sassuolo's 1–1 draw with Milan supplied Cas Odenthal's 11 points, with TFF recording a goal in a 64-minute appearance without a start. His current season figures contain 2 goals in just 2 appearances, with 18 points in total. The goals are notable, but the small sample and limited starting record matter more than the attractive average of 9 points per appearance when considering what might repeat.
Antoine Hainaut finishes FLEX on 11 points from Venezia's defeat at Atalanta, with a goal and 2 chances created in TFF's data. His current 535 minutes across 6 appearances provide a much larger involvement base than Odenthal's. That contrast is the useful takeaway: investigate the route to points, not just the number beside a name. See how TFF scoring works before comparing these performances with your squad's needs. Which of these players would you actually add?
