Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 23). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.5, D'Alessandro carries the 56th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 56. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
