The squad is a resilient mix of local symbols and promising offensive talents, many of whom are on development paths from larger clubs.

• Composition: The attack is led by Sebastiano Esposito (top scorer with 6 goals) and the explosive Semih Kılıçsoy. Experience is provided by captain Alessandro Deiola and veteran forward Andrea Belotti, who joined to provide leadership in the final third.
• Tactical Focus: Under Fabio Pisacane (appointed in late 2025), Cagliari utilizes a gritty, counter-attacking system, often operating in a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. The focus is on defensive solidity provided by Sebastiano Luperto and Yerry Mina, looking to exploit the pace of Zito Luvumbo on transitions.
• Standout Talent: Sebastiano Esposito has been the technical leader this season, leading the team in both goals (6) and assists (5), proving crucial in their successful matches against mid-table rivals.
