How this ranking is made
Attacking midfielders aged 23 or under in Serie A 2026/27 with at least 346 league minutes, ranked on key passes per 90, non-penalty goals per 90, dribbles per 90, big chances created per 90, shots per 90 and times dispossessed per 90. Each measure is a percentile against every attacking midfielder in the league with the same minutes, so a young player is judged by the standard of the whole position, not only of his age group. 11 matchdays have been played, so the minutes bar is 346. It rises as the season goes on, until it reaches 450, about five full matches.
