Squad depthCreative Central midfielder

D. Bakola is a 18-year-old central midfielder at Sassuolo, rated 71.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A teenage prospect, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bakola.

On the season, Bakola graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 5.625 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 5).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 71. At 18 Bakola is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 33.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bakola missed 6 games through injury (knee, inactive, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 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.

Clean sheets

5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 6 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.63 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.63 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.1/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 71.2 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
