3.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 7 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

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 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 20, Bertoncello sits on 1, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bertoncello's projected Rating — 20.4 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.
