Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Full-back

M. Faraoni is a 34-year-old full-back at Pescara, rated 11.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 396th of 397 on scout potential in the Serie B. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Faraoni.

Judged on this season alone, Faraoni graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 72nd of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B, on 1 clean sheet and 4.049 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 74th of 75 of the 75 full-backs in the Serie B. At 34 Faraoni is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 11.4, Faraoni carries the 74th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B of 75 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
