Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Game time. Only 1.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.4 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~37), then tapers with age. At 25, Ricci sits on 37.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ricci's projected Rating — 60.4 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.
