Scout report
W. Coulibaly is a 27-year-old full-back at Sassuolo, rated 55.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 263rd of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Coulibaly.
Judged on this season alone, Coulibaly graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A, on 2 clean sheets and 3.156 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 47th of 63 of the 63 full-backs in the Serie A. At 27 Coulibaly is in his prime years, and a market index of 34.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Coulibaly missed 4 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
