Output in context · Venezia finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) 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 7 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.72 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
Rated 72.5 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
