Interceptions

Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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.

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.79 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 19, Garuccio sits on 0.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Garuccio's projected Rating — 18.7 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.
