Clean sheets

1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.6, Zanimacchia carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
