Atalanta have reached the first international break of the 2026-27 Serie A season with work to do. Maurizio Sarri’s side have collected six points and arrive after three consecutive league defeats, a difficult opening sequence for a club accustomed to carrying higher ambitions into autumn.
A lean start for Sarri’s Atalanta
The collective picture has also been reflected in the individual returns. No Atalanta player has produced more than one decisive fantasy contribution, whether through a goal or an assist, in the early rounds of the campaign.
- Atalanta have six Serie A points.
- The team have lost each of their last three league matches.
- No player has registered more than one goal-or-assist contribution so far.
- The rankings cover players who received ratings in at least three matches.
With the league pausing for international fixtures, the numbers underline a side still looking for continuity rather than a settled run of leading performers.
Samardzic leads the early individual standings
Lazar Samardzic has been Atalanta’s highest-rated player in the opening part of the season, posting an average fantasy score of 6.4. The former Udinese midfielder scored against Bologna in the second round and has started each of the club’s past three Serie A fixtures.
Immediately behind him is a three-way group on 6.3. Gianluca Scamacca, Nikola Krstovic and Ederson have each found the net once in the league, against Cagliari, Sassuolo and Roma respectively.
| Player | Average fantasy rating | Key contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Lazar Samardzic | 6.4 | Goal against Bologna |
| Gianluca Scamacca | 6.3 | Goal against Cagliari |
| Nikola Krstovic | 6.3 | Goal against Sassuolo |
| Ederson | 6.3 | Goal against Roma |
| Nicola Zalewski | 6.2 | Assist against Bologna |
Zalewski provides a brief positive note
Nicola Zalewski completes Atalanta’s early top five with a 6.2 average. He has appeared in three matches, only one of them from the opening whistle, but supplied an assist in the meeting with Bologna.
For Sarri, the break offers a moment to reset after a harsh sequence of results. Samardzic’s form and the isolated contributions from Scamacca, Krstovic, Ederson and Zalewski give Atalanta a small platform, but the next stage of the season will demand that those individual flashes become a more coherent league return.
