Christian Pulisic is entering his second season at AC Milan after a stellar first season with the club after a disappointing year at Chelsea the year before. Pulisic is the most rejuvenated he has been in his club career after the move to Milan last summer and now is poised to be the new number 10 for Milan in the 24-25 campaign. Even though Milan lost Oliver Giroud to the MLS, this attacking unit will be a productive one, especially with Pulisic at the 10. Let’s talk about the 2023 production.
Christian Pulisic 2023 Production
In all competitions in the 2023/24 season, Christian Pulisic had 18 goals and 12 assists for AC Milan. That was by far the best season that the American has ever had in his club career because of the amount of time on the pitch, Pulisic played in 60 matches in 2023/24 by far the most he has played in his career. Pulisic has had the combination of bad luck with injuries and a stroke of bad luck with managers not valuing him enough i.e. Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter at Chelsea.
But when Christian Pulisic is valued and healthy like he was in 2023-2024 he is one of the youngest rising stars in the world. Let’s look at Pulisic projections for the 2024 season at his new position.
Christian Pulisic 2024 Projection
Christian Pulisic is potentially switching to being the new No.10 at Milan this season which should increase his assists tallies a little bit because he’s going to be doing a lot of the creating of the offense as well as they are looking to take advantage of his ability to shoot the ball with either foot. The idea of Pulisic as the No. 10 was pitched by fellow superstar teammate Rafael Leao. In an interview, Leao said this about Pulisic playing the No. 10 position,
“I’m very happy to have him as a team-mate, he’s a player who can change the game in a second,” he added. “I’m happy with him and I expect him to repeat himself, or rather maybe improve further in the season that is about to begin. I’m not a coach, but I prefer Christian when he plays as a number 10.
From the centre he has the ability to occupy space both on the left and on the right. I think he can be very dangerous in that position, but in general he does very well both as an attacking midfielder and on the right. As a 10 he would give me some assists, we could play fast, with one-twos or with a touch in the middle of the field… he can do everything.”
Leao’s take on Pulisic playing the 10 is such a genius take because of the ability of Christian to be an electric playmaker for the Rossernari and should continue his ability to be a unique playmaker for the club in 2024-25. Expect the goal totals to be up slightly and the assist numbers to be up exponentially in 2024-25. We could see close to a 20-goal 15-18 assist season for Captain America in 2024-25.
Final Thoughts
If you’re playing Underdog Fantasy or Prize Picks in this soccer season and playing Serie A games in your picks, Pulisic will be a good option to win you some cash a good amount of the time, of course, there will be times that he’ll not hit his goals or assist totals needed for the win if you go with the over on those games and you’ll have to pick the under. But I think Pulisic will hit the over a lot more times than not in 2024-25.
