Italy - Serie A1 2025/26

  • I think Omoruyi is having a top 3 OH season, some people have vendetta's and refuse to acknowledged when players improve. Bu these comparisons make no sense. It's more like nitpicking stats to make players look bad. Especially for Skinner. Her numbers there are good, why are we comparing being "outscored" by 4 points when Skinner gets less sets than Omoruyi on average? What about reception and defense?

    That's exactly my point, people are just making judgment based on names alone. Is Loli better than the cited names? Nope, consistency here is key. Is she having a better season than most? Yes. Both can be true. Reception at Coppa Italia match was

    37% on 38 passes and 2 errors vs 41% on 24 passes and 1 error for Loli and Skinner, respectively.

  • and then she swept them in the away match with 31 pts and 60% attack success rate 😉


    Can you compare Nervini and Kunzler's stats against the top teams? Overall, they're almost identical in points and offensive percentage.

  • omoruyi is ok but i wouldn't put her in the top 3 after what she showed against aek who nearly swept them. still a lot of inconsistencies in her performance for her to land in the top 3

    This is her first season at the highest level, so we'll have to wait a while to see if she stabilizes. In any case, she was a great junior, and her improvement in form isn't surprising – if it weren't some injuries, it probably would have happened to faster.

  • Non so se l'avete già postato , per quanto le Stats non contano niente e siamo d'accordo che non valgono niente. cmq sono più autorevoli delle opinioni quindi Questi sono i numeri al 28/12, il resto le solite chiacchiere, preferenze , figli e figliastri eccecc

    as the kids say these days, this is AI slop /s

  • Why are you only talking about offense, I thought half of OHs job is reception. She is still far behind of these 3 and maybe 10 more😂

  • I asked you to put some effort and try to write in english, but eventually you went back to italian. Not once, but twice. And last but not least, your comment had also useless provocations. You are banned for a week.

  • If I were there for Milano, I would try to reach out Uzelac, Knollema. Or maybe Kunzler, Ishikawa, Alsmeier... There're plenty of choices.

    Ishikawa and Piva means bye bye block. In my opinion they should give to Lanier whatever she wants and keep her. She does a really good job in every aspect of the game and this is not something that you can find easily.

    If that's true, in this instance: Turkish clubs having more money, I guess.

    I guess that if she has offers from Turkey Ecza and THY are the most possible destinations. In that case, leaving Milano for THY is crazy, so I think it will be Ecza.

  • I think attacking from Lanier is not enough especially against the top 4 teams.

    When it comes to attacking you must also think that's happening with the MBs. The game is a little bit predictable and an additional attacking option in the middle could change everything. Also I could never say that Lanier does a bad job because she attacks good and contributes in everything.

    Her passing isn’t getting better and tbh she is not an elite attacker either. She is doing a good job for Milano this season in terms of what they need but there are certainly options for upgrade.
    Uzelac and Ana C would be good choices who can do everything Lanier does but better imo.

    Knollema would be a gamble but she has a higher ceiling and she’s having a better season in a worse team.

    Alsmeier would provide similar contribution with better passing and defenece.

    And overall they can’t take Skinner from Scandicci but she would defenitely be an upgrade.

    One lowkey option is Simone Lee who is underrated for no reason.


    The most realistic option here they can go for and have a decent roster is

    Uzelac, Alsmeier, Lee, Piva.
    Overall solid passing unit that can score next to Egonu and an upgrade to their current OH roster.


    Uzelac-Alsmeier as starters with Lee as offensive option and Piva as defensive option if needed.

    They wouldn’t even need huge MB contribution in attack.

  • Alsmeier ( 35,7% ) has the same stats with Lanier ( 35,8) in the reception. In the attack Lanier has 45,8% while Almeier has 39,4% plus the fact that Lanier scores a lot with OOS. Lina is good but it could be a downgrade compare to Lanier, especially if you think how bad she plays against Conegliano. Generally it could be better if Milano avoided players like Daalderop, Knollema and Alsmeier because their attacks are not powerful enough and are easily dealed by stronge block-defense systems. Ana Cristina would be perfect but she needs a more defensive player next to her than Lina or Piva.

    Different teams different roles, stats aren’t everything.

    I can’t remember Lanier having higher attack then 40% against stronger teams. She is comfortable between 45-50% when Milano sweeps lower ranked teams.

    You rly think Ana C needs more defensive player with her then Lanier does?
    Anyways I think Lina is quite good all around option even to be paired with more offensive based OH. Same as Uzelac.
