5 goals in 5 games, and nobody else in the league close to it. Potenza have the man every defence in the division is planning around.

Player of the month: Kevin Piscopo — 7.76
Everybody in the division was measured and a Bari man came out on top: 7.76 across the month and 4 goal contributions. There is no serious case for anybody else.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Picerno
Sascha Britschgi was marked 7.36 and had a hand in 1 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bari, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market1 Feb 2027
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Bari have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Crotone say no — this time
The offer from Empoli for Nicolò Armini was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Guido Gomez leads the division for assists — 7.34
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 3 of them made by a Bari player marked 7.34, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Catania is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Best marks in the division for Kevin Piscopo — 7.76
7.76 on average across 5 matches for Bari. The chart that notices the players a goal tally never does, and this month it noticed him.

5 appearances, 3 goals, and a place among the division's leading scorers for the month. Strikers measure a season in exactly these lines.

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 4 goals in 4 appearances for Casarano.
Scoring charts1 Jan 2027
Marked 7.77 across it, 4 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Casarano have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Francisco Baridó is the month's best young player — 7.32
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.32 over the month and 3 goal contributions, from a Cavese player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

The division’s top provider is Vito Leonetti — 7.12
2 assists across the month from a Casarano player marked 7.12. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.

Highest marks in the league belong to a Casarano man
Cosimo Patierno averaged 7.77 over 4 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Bari can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.
