Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30% 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 42.5, Batista carries the 8th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie A of 33 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
