Clean sheets

4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.4, Charlys carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B (top 30%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Reggiana finished 18th 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 (4.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
