Scout report
M. Faraoni is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Pescara, rated 11.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 388th of 389 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 17th of 17 of the 17 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, 17th of 17 of the 17 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 17th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 17 — 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).
