Goals / app

3 goals in 29 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.28 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.29 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.5, Prestianni carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Primeira Liga (top 9%). In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
