We hold a single season for Castellani, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 3, 20th of 20 of the 20 defensive midfielders in the Primera División. At 38 Castellani is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.
5.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 3.4, Castellani carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Primera División of 20 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 20–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 38, Castellani sits on 0.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Castellani's projected Rating — 3.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
