Ricardo Daniel Pepi

Pepi, Ricardo Daniel Pepi, attacks space as PSV Eindhoven's centre-forward, drifting into channels to pin centre-backs and finish moves. He rose from FC Dallas to FC Augsburg in 2022, then signed for PSV Eindhoven in 2023, a turning point that established him as a regular box threat. Pepi presses high and hunts chances. In MLS, Pepi set a hattrick record in July 2021 and earned Young Player of the Year. His European path included a club-record move to Augsburg in 2022, the 2023–24 Eredivisie title with PSV, and Nations League titles with the USMNT. Pepi's best role is Target Forward, a box threat who finishes with both feet and uses his 1.85m frame to win aerials while linking play with short flick-ons. On the ball, Pepi gets shots off quickly.
