Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

L. Cacace is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Wrexham, rated 55.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 259th of 495 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cacace.

Judged on this season alone, Cacace graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 108th of 109 of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.228 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 58th of 109 of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Cacace is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cacace missed 23 games through injury (hamstring, injury, knock) out of roughly 46 this season. The 12 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.

Clean sheets

2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.4, Cacace carries the 58th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 109 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
