Clean sheets

3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 12.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 32, Cristóforo sits on 1.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cristóforo's projected Rating — 15.2 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.
