Many fanbases, including the Bianconeri, are falling into the debate of the best AM they should sign.

Today, I will analyse the careers of 5 prospects that many clubs are looking at and give my opinion on who is the best choice for most clubs.

Graphs by @Gasipo_Opinions

- Housseem Aouar
- James Maddison
- Lorenzo Pellegrini
- Hakan Calhanoglu
- Martin Odegaard

These 5 ill be judged based off:

1. Creativity
2. Finishing
3. Dribbling
4. Defensive work rate

*Stats from 19/20 and 20/21 so far

To start off with basic creativity stats

Passes p90 | Passing% | Passes into box p100 touches

Aouar: 40.6 | 83.5%

| 1.52
Maddison: 43.1 | 76.2% | 2.32
Pellegrini: 41.5 | 76.8% | 3.23
Calhanoglu: 43.5 | 78.1% | 2.44
Odegaard: 47.5

| 81.4% | 3.71

Now to the more advanced creativity stats.xA p100 touches | Shot-creating actions p100 touches | Yards progressed p100 touchesAouar: 0.25 | 5.35 | 619Maddison: 0.39 | 5.80 | 549Pellegrini: 0.55 | 6.03 | 638Calhanoglu: 0.40 | 5.79 | 572Odegaard: 0.26 | 4.46 | 617

What a return for Pellegrini! and what a disappointement for Odegaard after those buildup stats, Pellegrini takes the lead in all 3 of the most important creativity statistics for an AM to keep up with a solid showing in the basic stats.

Solid from Calhanoglu and Maddison too.

Now onto the dribbling and posession keeping abilties of these AM's

Turnovers | Dribbling% | Dribbles p100 touches

Aouar: 8.57 | 63.4% | 5.50

Maddison: 5.25 | 63.3% | 2.74
Pellegrini: 5.02 | 51.8% | 1.88
Calhanoglu: 4.30

| 65.2% | 1.71
Odegaard: 4.97 | 67.4%

| 3.00

Now onto the dribbling and posession keeping abilties of these AM'sTurnovers | Dribbling% | Dribbles p100 touchesAouar: 8.57 | 63.4% | 5.50 Maddison: 5.25 | 63.3% | 2.74Pellegrini: 5.02 | 51.8% | 1.88Calhanoglu: 4.30 | 65.2% | 1.71Odegaard: 4.97 | 67.4% | 3.00

Aouar has been the best dribbler out of them, most dribbles completed p100 touches and a good dribbling%.

Although he has been dispossesed more times than the rest, it's also because he's attempted more dribbles and succeeded in more dribbles than anyone else on this list.

Ratings;
1- Maddison
2- Calhonoglu
3- Aouar
4- Pellegrini
5- Odegaard

Overall, I believe Maddison is the most generally complete player with good creativity, dribbling, finishing and great work rate for an AM, and will probably be looking for a move to a team that secures UCL.

Aouar and Calhonoglu have been linked with Juventus, with the former also linked with Real Madrid.

Odegaard seems content with Real and Pellegrini is happy at Roma, being a vital part of their project for consistent European football again.

What're your opinions on the best?
