Frattesi beats top Serie A midfielders in four key stats
After his brace against Empoli on Wednesday night, the Nerazzurri man has now scored more Serie A goals this season as the aforementioned midfielders combined. Of those players, only McTominay and Pasalic have found the net in Serie A so far this season.
Frattesi is also outperforming McTominay, Koopmeiners and co. in terms of goals per game, with a current average of one every 180 minutes, exactly one every two full games in the league. McTominay has one goal from 556 minutes of league action, while Pasalic has one from 560 minutes.
Frattesi also boasts the best conversion rate of the above midfielders. He is averaging 1.08 shots per 90 minutes this season, scoring 21.4% of those efforts. That trumps McTominay (11.8%), Pasalic (4.8%), Loftus-Cheek and Koopmeiners (both 0%).
Frattesi is also out-dribbling those four Serie A midfielders, completing two out of every three attempted dribbles for an average of 66.67%. McTominay is on 46.7%, Koopmeiners at 40%, Loftus-Cheek at 58.3% and Pasalic at 30%.
All of this has been achieved while playing the fewest minutes of the five aforementioned midfielders, too. Frattesi is currently averaging 51 minutes per 90 in all competitions this season, compared to McTominay’s 71 minutes, Koopmeiners at 70, Loftus-Cheek at 66 and Pasalic at 59.
