L. Benedetti is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Virtus Entella, rated 49.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 58th of 145 on scout potential in the Serie B.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Benedetti.

Judged on this season alone, Benedetti graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.573 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 19th of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Serie B. At 26 Benedetti is in his prime years, and a market index of 19.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.4, Benedetti carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Virtus Entella finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
