&lt;p&gt;In football, every player can contribute to their side’s success based on their specific roles and skills. Individual statistics offer key insight into who are the best finishers, creaters, defenders and runners in Serie A. These facts can helps us to analyse in greater depth the dynamics of each team in the league, shedding light on the players who make the difference and around whom the coaches can build their tactics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Top spot in the &lt;strong&gt;goalscoring chart&lt;/strong&gt; is certainly the most desirable for the players and the most keenly-observed by the fans. Level at the top at the time of writing are &lt;strong&gt;Mateo Retegui&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Marcus Thuram&lt;/strong&gt; with seven goals apiece for an average of one per game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt; forward has already matched his tally for the whole of last season with Genoa. In the process, he has set an impressive record, becoming just the fifth &lt;strong&gt;Italian&lt;/strong&gt; to score seven goals in his first seven league games with a new club in the three-points-per-win era, drawing level with Roberto Baggio for Bologna, Mario Balotelli for AC Milan, Emiliano Bonazzoli for Sampdoria, and Dario Hübner for Piacenza. Retegui has proved himself to be lethal in front of goal, capable of a variety of different finishes: he has scored headers (3), penalties (2) and two with either foot from inside the penalty area (1 with his left and 1 with his right).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Inter and France centre-forward, meanwhile, has been in red-hot goalscoring form: he has had the most &lt;strong&gt;multiple-goal hauls&lt;/strong&gt;(3) in Europe’s Top-5 leagues this season, level with Erling Haaland. Thuram has scored with just two methods: headers (3) and right-footed finishes (4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/1ff2437e-418d-44e7-b74d-63090c664837/Sito_HERO_mil.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christian Pulisic&lt;/strong&gt; is second with five goals. The USA international is having his best start to a season, with goals in four consecutive games and two assists.&amp;nbsp; His contribution in attack puts him in second behind Retegui and Thuram for &lt;strong&gt;total goal involvements&lt;/strong&gt; (7 to 8). Level with Pulisic on five goals we have &lt;strong&gt;Dušan Vlahović&lt;/strong&gt;, who has converted three penalties (the most in Serie A this season) and scored his only home goal last time out against Cagliari. The Serbian hadn’t scored at the Allianz Stadium in the league since last February. The lone occupant of the podium’s lowest rung is Patrick Cutrone with four goals to his name, which have been decisive in Como picking up five of their eight points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daniel Mosquera&lt;/strong&gt; (3) has scored the most goals off the bench, ahead of &lt;strong&gt;Dany Mota&lt;/strong&gt; (2). The youngest goalscorer in Serie A so far this season is Genoa’s Jeff Ekhator at 17 years and 329 years; he is also the club’s fourth-youngest goalscorer ever in the competition after Pietro Pellegri (16 years and 72 days in 2017 vs Roma), Boakye and Miniati.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dominating the &lt;strong&gt;assist leaderboard&lt;/strong&gt; is Lazio new-boy &lt;strong&gt;Nuno Tavares&lt;/strong&gt;, who has &lt;strong&gt;set up five goals&lt;/strong&gt; in five games.&amp;nbsp; No defender has more than him in Europe’s Top-5 leagues this season and only Bukayo Saka (7) has more overall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Behind the Bianconeri’s full-back are two Napoli players; the Azzurri, in fact, are the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/league-numbers-7203gj2&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;leading team in this particular category&lt;/a&gt;.

Some talented technicians are all level on 15: Bernabé, Man, Pulisic and Gallo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A stat that can often tell us a lot about the threat carried by a player, as well as their dribbling ability, is &lt;strong&gt;fouls won&lt;/strong&gt;.
