Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 20 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 88th of 98 of the 98 centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina. At 35 Pezzella is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
