An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cassata.
Judged on this season alone, Cassata graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.54 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 31st of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 29 Cassata is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Cassata is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.
Output in context · Spezia finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.5, Cassata carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 40, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Spezia finished 19th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
