Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 49th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Bianchetti is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 27.5, Bianchetti carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Serie A of 52, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Cremonese finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
