Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 29 Basso is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Basso missed 3 games through injury (adductor) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 6 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Rated 35.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~46), then tapers with age. At 29, Basso sits on 25.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Basso's projected Rating — 35.1 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.
