We hold a single season for Liteta, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67. At 20 Liteta is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 35.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Liteta missed 8 games through injury (thigh, international duty, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 4 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

5.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 20 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
