Scout report

Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

L. Pavoletti is a 37-year-old centre-forward at Cagliari, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 13 appearances, a Season grade of 8. On long-term scout potential he's rated 5.7. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (9.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.37 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pavoletti.

On the season, Pavoletti graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.732 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 6. At 37 Pavoletti is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Pavoletti missed 9 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 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.

Goals / app

1 goal in 13 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.73 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.37 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 9.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.7 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.73 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
