Judged on this season alone, Braithwaite graded 48 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 12% of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 6 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.423 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 31 → 48). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 34th of 53 of the 53 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 35 Braithwaite is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Braithwaite missed 19 games through injury (achilles tendon, thigh, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 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.

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.06 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, 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 27, Braithwaite carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 53. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
