Judged on this season alone, Akpro graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.399 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 30). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 56th of 57 of the 57 defensive midfielders in the Serie A. At 33 Akpro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Akpro missed 9 games through injury (ankle, injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 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.
A career still climbing — Akpro is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25, Akpro carries the 56th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hellas Verona finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
