Scout report
F. Grillitsch is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Frosinone, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 20 appearances, a Season grade of 33, top 73% of Serie A defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 31.1, ranking 172nd of 190 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (62.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grillitsch.
Judged on this season alone, Grillitsch graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 11 of the 11 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.587 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 9th of 11 of the 11 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 31 Grillitsch is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Frosinone finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- 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 31.1, Grillitsch carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 11, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Frosinone finished 14th 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 (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
