Judged on this season alone, Rizzuto graded 21 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 107 central midfielders in the 3. Liga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.77 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 103rd of 107 of the 107 central midfielders in the 3. Liga. At 34 Rizzuto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Saarbrücken finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 11.6, Rizzuto carries the 103rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 3. Liga of 107, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Saarbrücken finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
