Clean sheets

2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 29.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 20.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 31, Guzzo sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Guzzo's projected Rating — 20.5 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.
