Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

F. Bianchini is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Portsmouth, rated 55.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 260th of 495 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bianchini.

Judged on this season alone, Bianchini graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 98th of 109 of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.397 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 55, 59th of 109 of the 109 central midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Bianchini is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bianchini missed 21 games through injury (knee, inactive) out of roughly 46 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.

Clean sheets

2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 55.3, Bianchini carries the 59th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 109 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
