On the season, Chiara graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 3.295 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

Clean sheets

3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 19.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
