Scout report
F. Bandinelli is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Spezia, rated 22.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 145 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bandinelli.
Judged on this season alone, Bandinelli graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 33rd of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.471 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 35th of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 31 Bandinelli is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Spezia finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 22.7, Bandinelli carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 40 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
