Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 47th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 36 Caracciolo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.6, Caracciolo carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 52, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pisa finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
