On long-term scout potential he's rated 35.9, ranking 11th of 274 in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present (82.5% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Mantuan graded 51 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 7% of the 47 full-backs in the Premier League, on 11 clean sheets and 2.703 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 23 → 51). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, top 5% of the 47 full-backs in the Premier League. At 25 Mantuan is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mantuan missed 4 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 30 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 82.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.9, Mantuan carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
