Clean sheets

1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.39 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • 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

With a Rating of 39.4, Rony carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie A of 57. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
