On the season, Botta graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 3 assists in 23 appearances (0.211 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

0 goals in 23 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 3 goal contributions (0.13 per appearance).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
