too bad I have to spread some more rep
@DAiDEViL 
He is a starter for Ascoli and he is a important player there. Cassata is a midfielder with a great skillset (Pogba, Thiago Alcantratrarrararaa, Isco) and good shortpassing. His phisycal level is normal I think, like Thiago or Isco. He is a little bit a box-to-box / mezzala player but defensively still not so great. Ideal in a pressing team like Liverpool, I think that's the reason they are interested.
Technique and short passing/combinations are topnotch. Physical normal, speed little bit above normal. Defensively he need still to learn (if he want to be a box-to-box) and his vision is decent. He has the potential for sure. He was one of my favourites with Kastanos as midfielders in our Primavera.
I won't sell him btw, he has a lot of potential and I prefer him as back-up above our current back-ups.

Francesco Cassata (18):
Loaned out to Ascoli where he is playing most of time. I don’t follow him there, but know him from Primavera and he has a really good skillset. Technical gifted central-midfielder, he can surprise us. I believe he has the potential to become a good player. Juventus level? Don’t know…
So nothing changed

I remember a few seasons ago Leon Britton of Swansea had the best passing statistics in Europe.
Stats can be good but they don't include important factors like positioning, what passes the player chooses not to play, what passes they do play, miss-controls, tracking your runner, what runs the player makes/doesn't make etc.

You can find statistics on:
-% of backwards and forwards
-Bad touches
-Dribbled Past
-Long passes, short passes
-Accurate long balls, accurate short passes
-You can do things like short key passes as a % of total short passes, or key long passes as a % of total long passes
It isn't perfect, but there is a surprising amount of granularity!
You can even strip out crosses and free kicks.
