Clean sheets

1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.

Watch points

Game time. Only 27.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 49.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 25, Belardinelli sits on 19.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Belardinelli's projected Rating — 49.9 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.
