Scout report
L. Mazzitelli is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Cagliari, rated 37.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mazzitelli.
On the season, Mazzitelli graded 20 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 2 assists and 3.718 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 38. At 30 Mazzitelli is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cagliari finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 37.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
