About Francesco Caputo

Francesco Caputo is a seasoned striker, known for his experience rather than explosive qualities. With a Sofascore rating placing him in the bottom 34% of his peers, he currently struggles to impact games, evident in his limited goal tally this season. While his reliability is a plus, with only 12 games missed over the last three seasons, his lack of standout strengths and low involvement in duels and defensive actions suggest he may be past his prime as a top-tier forward.

Availability: 12 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
