In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (72.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cuello.

Judged on this season alone, Cuello graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 16% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.391 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 33). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, top 23% of the 63 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 26 Cuello is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Cuello missed 20 games through injury (ankle, hamstring, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 16 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
