Clean sheets

1.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) 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 7 goals and 10 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.59 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Game time. Only 59.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.04 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 59.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 27, Scienza sits on 32.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Scienza's projected Rating — 59.4 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.
