Leonardo Pavoletti is a seasoned performer in Serie A, plying his trade for Cagliari as a potent striker. Though at 35, his career is on the twilight, his performances don't speak the same language. His game is an engaging blend of superb ball retention (89th percentile) and goal-scoring efficiency (80th percentile). When given a sight at goal, Pavoletti can be relied upon to deliver the goods, boasting a goal per 90 minutes score in the top 86th percentile and shots per ninety in the 85th. Yet for all his prowess on the front foot, a striking weakness lies in his ability to create chances (1.82 percentile), recover the ball (1.82 percentile), and carry the ball progressively (1.82 percentile) - each woefully low and concerning. His pass accuracy per 90 (30.91 percentile) could also be improved. Ultimately, Pavoletti seems to be an embodiment of an old-school striker – his focus is on finishing moves rather than creating them, demonstrating a selfish yet effective approach to his footballing responsibilities.
