Clean sheets

4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 28 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49, Caligara carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pescara 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 (4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
