F. Gelli is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Frosinone, rated 36.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 293rd of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.86 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gelli.

Judged on this season alone, Gelli graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 79 of the 79 central midfielders in the Serie B, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.858 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 14). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.1, Gelli carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie B of 79. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
