Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

A. Vranckx is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Sassuolo, rated 67.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 187th of 388 on scout potential in the Serie A. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.08 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vranckx.

Judged on this season alone, Vranckx graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.081 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 31st of 68 of the 68 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 23 Vranckx is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 41.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vranckx missed 4 games through injury (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.

2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 67.1, Vranckx carries the 31st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 68 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
