Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

F. Di Mariano is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Padova, rated 33.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 100th of 145 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.26 goal contributions per 90 (0.11 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mariano.

Judged on this season alone, Mariano graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 21 of the 21 centre-forwards in the Serie B, on 2 goals and 3 assists in 32 appearances (0.261 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 10th of 21 of the 21 centre-forwards in the Serie B. At 30 Mariano is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.6 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 32 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.16 per appearance).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.1, Mariano carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie B of 21. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
