An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists).

2 goals in 10 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.25 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.11 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.2, Scienza carries the 13th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 26 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
