Clean sheets

3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 64.8, Justino carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 71 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
