Football Italia’s Week 5 round-up of Italy players in Serie A was led by Lorenzo Palmisani, after the Frosinone goalkeeper’s clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Como. The list also highlighted three other Italy players for decisive or clean-sheet performances.
1. Lorenzo Palmisani (Frosinone) — Football Italia rated the 22-year-old as the best-performing Italy player of the round, with Sky Sport Italia giving him 8.5/10. He kept Como out despite chances for Moise Kean and Nico Paz, which is why his display stood out most.
2. Ilario Monterisi (Frosinone) — Also included in the top 10 after the same 2-0 win, Monterisi’s place on the list shows Frosinone supplied more than one Italy-eligible standout in the round. That matters because it underlines how complete the victory was.
3. Federico Bernardeschi (Bologna) — Bernardeschi scored the opening goal in Bologna’s 1-1 draw with Torino and received a 7.5/10 rating. A goal in a tight game kept him among the week’s strongest Italy performers.
4. Elia Caprile (Cagliari) — Caprile earned the same 7.5/10 after a clean sheet in Cagliari’s 1-0 win away at Udinese. His inclusion adds another goalkeeper to a week shaped by defensive standouts.
The broader pattern is clear: week 5 rewarded Italy-eligible players who either decided matches or delivered clean sheets, with Frosinone’s Palmisani the headline name.
