Clean sheets

1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 40 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 5 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 79.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.73 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 47.4 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~30), then tapers with age. At 29, Pontisso sits on 16.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pontisso's projected Rating — 47.4 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.
