Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on William.
Judged on this season alone, William graded 67 — a standout campaign that ranks top 3% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 11 clean sheets and 5.111 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 54 → 67). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 48th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 31 William is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: William missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (muscle, injury, rest) out of roughly 38 this season. The 30 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.
A career still climbing — William is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
5.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 0 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 40, William carries the 48th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~32), then tapers with age. At 31, William sits on 14.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is William's projected Rating — 40 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.
