Scout report
M. Faraoni is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Pescara, rated 11.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 128th of 129 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Faraoni.
Judged on this season alone, Faraoni graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 9 of the 9 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.049 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 9th of 9 of the 9 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 34 Faraoni is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Pescara finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 11.4, Faraoni carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 9 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
