Clean sheets

3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 86.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 47.9 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~47), then tapers with age. At 29, Pessina sits on 16.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pessina's projected Rating — 47.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
