Clean sheets

3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 15) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Availability. On the pitch for 88.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 36, Marcone sits on 2.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Marcone's projected Rating — 20.2 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.
