The new Serie A season starts on Saturday, August 17, with four games on the schedule: first Genoa–Inter and Parma–Fiorentina at 5.30 p.m. (CEST), followed by Milan–Turin and Empoli–Monza at 7.45 p.m.
Although there have been some high-profile departures from the league for considerable sums of money, including the €50 million transfer of Riccardo Calafiori to Arsenal, there is still a huge concentration of high-quality players in the league.
We have opted for a 4-4-2 system in order to have at least one, if not two, representatives for each position.
Three players from Italy’s most valuable team retain their place in Serie A’s overall most valuable team, namely Nicolo Barella, Alessandro Bastoni and Michael Kayode of Fiorentina.
Curiously, Kayode is considered the most economically valuable right-back in the league, despite not being on the list of the league’s 20 most valuable players.
With four representatives, Milan has the most representatives in the most valuable eleven, closely followed by Inter with three, Juventus with two and one each from Napoli and Fiorentina.
Reigning champions Inter still have the most players on the league’s 20 most valuable players list.
Most valuable eleven of Serie A: Maignan; Kayode, Bremer, Bastoni, T. Hernandez; Pulisic, Barella, Douglas Luiz, Leao; Lautaro Martinez, Osimhen.
