The Outsiders

- Nicola Legrottaglie - 1 start & 2 sub app. Awesome v Milan. Avg rating 7

Here are those who have made six or more appearances in reverse order. Absolutely no prizes whatsoever for guessing who came bottom (figures in brackets are starts, sub appearances & goals);
- 16 Amauri (3-3-0) Those 20 goals are a pipe dream. Keep smoking 5.16
- 15 Marco Motta (8-1-0) Bright start, regressed quickly 5.66
- 14 Momo Sissoko (2-4-0) Solid but ineffective against weaker teams 5.83
- 13 Zdenek Grygera (5-1-0) Looked safe enough before injury 6
- 12 Simone Pepe (8-2-1) Working hard & extremely versatile 6.11
- 11 Claudio Marchisio (11-0-2) Sacrificing himself for the team 6.15
- 10 Paolo De Ceglie (6-0-0) Vastly improved & now sorely missed 6.16
- 9 Vincenzo Iaquinta (3-6-4) Important squad member, vital goals 6.18
- 8 Leonardo Bonucci (12-0-2) The glue holding the defence together 6.28
- 7 Fabio Quagliarella (11-0-6) Surprising impact, impressive strike rate 6.3
- 6 Marco Storari (12-0-0) Great signing, essential & dependable 6.33
- 5 Alessandro Del Piero (7-5-3) Leadership, goals, experience & class 6.45
- 4 Giorgio Chiellini (9-1-0) Now a world class defender. Huge presence 6.5
- 3 Felipe Melo (10-1-1) Amazing turnaround from last seasons goat. Now vital to the team, doing a huge amount of work to protect the defence 6.75
- 2 Alberto Aquilani (8-2-1) The inspirational force of this new Juventus, not just playing better than he has in over two years but now a complete midfielder 6.83
- 1 Milos Krasic (8-0-3) Signing of the summer. €15m looking like a steal. When fit is totally unstoppable. Perhaps the one game-changer in the squad, capable of winning games that look lost. 7
