As a winger, his reliable proficiency in ball recovery is worth noting, standing at the 68th percentile mark among his peers. Furthermore, he's a genuine threat in attack, indicated by his commendable 66% in both goal threat and progressive carrying.
However, Pellistri's game is somewhat marred by flaws that predominantly manifest during the creative phases. His chance creation resides in a concerning 8th percentile, underscoring a dearth of creative output.

His assist per 90 metrics and pass accuracy are also relatively low, standing only at around 27% and an alarming 12.5%, respectively.
