Clean sheets

3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 77.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67, Ranocchia carries the 4th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B (top 8%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
