Game time. Only 23.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.5, Boscagli carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 64 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~63), then tapers with age. At 28, Boscagli sits on 37.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Boscagli's projected Rating — 52.5 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.
