How this ranking is made

Centre backs aged 23 or under in Serie A 2026/27 with at least 346 league minutes, ranked on duels won, aerials won per 90, tackles and interceptions per 90, times dribbled past per 90, pass completion, accurate passes per 90, long-ball accuracy and tackle success. Each measure is a percentile against every centre back 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.
