F. Negri is a 31-year-old full-back at San Diego, rated 18.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Negri.

On the season, Negri graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets and 3.363 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 31 Negri is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.1% 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

Rated 18.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
