Lecce’s forward registered four shots on target, two key passes and three tackles alongside a goal, finishing above a hat-trick scorer in the selection. A goalkeeper led them both. Goals alone don’t explain this Analytics XI.
The official team totals 123.8 points for GW7 of TFF’s simulated Serie A 2026/27 season. This review uses the platform’s supplied performances and season totals.
Saves and tackles offer routes without goals
Nine saves against Napoli gave Filip Stanković the selection’s highest return of 16.25 points across 90 minutes. His season total of 43.75 points across seven appearances averages 6.25 per outing. That makes this a major jump above his usual output. The saves explain the interest in this week, but there is no season save record here to establish that such a workload will repeat.
Five tackles accompanied Leonardo Balerdi’s 9.5 points across 90 minutes against Genoa, without a goal or assist. His entire five-appearance season also contains neither, yet totals 24.5 points. That provides evidence of contributions beyond direct attacking returns, which matters when assessing an Analytics defender. This particular score is still almost twice his season average. The route to points has a wider foundation; the size of this return needs more caution.
Assists and a brace need different expectations
An assist, three key passes and three tackles gave Nuno Tavares a varied 90-minute contribution at Juventus for 10.5 points. One goal and three assists across seven appearances make the latest attacking return part of a broader record, alongside 45.25 season points. Rafik Belghali collected 10 points at Parma through two assists, two key passes and four tackles in 73 minutes. Two of his three season assists arrived here, as did more than half his 18.25 points across five appearances. His latest creative return is a much bigger spike.
For Torino’s Giovanni Simeone, two goals brought 9.5 points during 83 minutes, with two shots on target, a key pass and a tackle. Those were his first goals in seven appearances, with no assists and 23.75 season points. The brace provides the obvious attacking return, but it doesn’t establish a reliable scoring pattern. Across these three, the season evidence gives the strongest repeated attacking foundation to the Lazio defender, rather than either player whose latest outing transformed their totals.
Midfield activity comes with contrasting records
A goal and an assist were only part of Adrien Rabiot’s contribution against Atalanta. Four key passes and five tackles over 90 minutes accompanied 11.25 points, giving Analytics managers creative and defensive activity to consider alongside the attacking returns. Four goals and three assists across seven appearances support recurring involvement in goals, while 38.25 season points provide a broader record. That strengthens the signal without establishing that this week’s tackle or key-pass volume is typical.
Maxence Caqueret also recorded four key passes and five tackles, adding an assist and a shot on target during 90 minutes at Fiorentina for 11 points. His season comparison is far less established: no goals, one assist and just 14.75 points across six appearances. Almost three-quarters of that total came here. The mixed contribution makes the performance interesting, but one productive outing cannot confirm a lasting change in his level or role.
Frosinone pair bring creation and finishing
Five key passes accompanied a goal and two shots on target from Giacomo Calò against Sassuolo. His 9.75 points came in 80 minutes, with the creative volume giving the outing interest beyond the finish. Two goals and one assist across seven appearances don’t describe a prolific scorer, yet his 49 season points lead this selected XI. That is a stronger established points record than the attacking totals alone might suggest, although it doesn’t prove that five key passes are routine.
Antonio Raimondo supplied the hat-trick, registering four shots on target across 90 minutes for 11.25 points. Seven goals in seven appearances give his finishing a wider foundation, with 33.75 season points. Three of those goals arrived in this match, however. The evidence supports an established scoring threat more strongly than another hat-trick. His teammate’s larger season points total also shows why counting goals alone is an incomplete way to assess this selection.
Two productive forwards have different foundations
Four shots on target, two key passes and three tackles accompanied Konan N’Dri’s goal at Udinese. That made his 13.5-point contribution over 82 minutes broader than the finish alone. It was his first goal in seven appearances, with no assists. This outing accounted for 60% of his 22.5 season points, so the activity deserves attention without being treated as his established level.
Gustavo Varela earned 11.25 points against Cagliari through two goals and an assist in 81 minutes, alongside two shots on target and two key passes. Six goals across six appearances support repeated finishing, with 34.25 season points. This was his first assist, so the strongest signal is the scoring record rather than expecting another outing with three direct goal involvements. Both forwards delivered here, but their season evidence offers different reasons for confidence.
Which of these players would you actually add?
